Easy and Beautiful Mix

by

Beautiful mix! I have raised beds for vegetables and a strip of garden dedicated to herbs. All I was missing was a a pollinator garden! I’m intimidated by flowers so I wanted to give a mix a try. I cleared two spaces (one in full sun & and one with partial sun). Both areas are doing amazing! Such a relief to plant a mix that works well together and provides diverse flowers that bloom at different times. The mixed corn poppies are my favorite. It’s only June now and already visited frequently by bees.

Urban beekeeper's delight

by

I sprinkled these seed in a flower bed that I was not attending to. A beautiful assortment of flowers bloomed all summer long, much to the delight of my bees.

ongoing delight

by

It has been a delight to solve the mystery of what each seedling turns out to be. It's a real education! The flowers are beautiful, the plants are healthy, and the bees -- a greater variety than I had realized we have here -- are very happy.

Exciting seed mix for both you and the bees!

by

Six years ago, I planted a 12’x6’ raised garden bed for this mix. I call it my “Bee Garden”. Each year, I let it do its own thing (albeit with some spring thinning and a few sprinkles of new seed). It’s exciting to see how it will change each year. I love to just sit and watch the many bees, butterflies, and night moths visit their garden! Strongly recommend!

Will plant again

by

This was an amazing mix, flowers just kept coming all summer and fall, I will always plant this mix as it did not disappoint. I had bees and butterflies all over these flowers. The poppies were my favorite!

Great value

by

Very high germination, lovely mix. Don’t waste your money on those bags with filler in them at the big box stores. I got way more blooms for the cost with this mix.

Brilliant and beautiful

This is a gorgeous mix of flowers, and it’s brought in not only bees, but hummingbirds too! I’m excited to plan more of this mix soon.

Not Sure What I Did Wrong

by

I used nail shoes to aerate a section of my lawn that wasn't growing grass very well and planted two of the 1 oz. packets of these seeds (mixed with sawdust) 2 weeks before our last frost date in Milwaukee. Nothing has come up (other than Creeping Charlie and dandelions). Any ideas of where I may have gone wrong? I was looking forward to having a little lawn prairie :(
