A beautiful, and colorful mix!

by

I purchased this mix in the fall of 2019 to be planted in the summer of 2020. I live in Albuquerque, and I've loved watching how everything has sprouted and bloomed these past couple months, with more yet to come! Great mix of flowers and colors. Will be purchasing another mix for next summer!

New Wonders Every Couple of Weeks

by

This packet had a never ending assortment with different varieties blooming every couple of weeks.Hummingbirds are going crazy over the late summer early fall bloomers and butterfly throughout the year. Plant where weeds aren't a problem because you never know what greenery will be a beauty.

Beautiful floral mix!

by

This is a really beautiful mix of flowers that every morning seems to pop open a new color. I was not sure what to expect and thought perhaps some of these would have a bit more height to them, but so far everything is growing in a lower cover under a foot. The bees do seem to enjoy it, though they still seem most enticed by the Seed Savers Borage I placed nearby, so I plan to buy both again and continue to fill in more of my garden with this very easy to grow combination.

Fun and Low-Maintenance Pollinator Mix

by

Great pollinator mix! So far, only a couple of varieties in the mix have bloomed, but everything is coming up great and I'm so excited to see what will bloom next. This has been a low-maintenance planting as well. I just mixed the seed with a little bit of sand and broadcast it over the area I wanted to seed. Would recommend if you want to establish a pollinator area in your garden.
