Flower Mixes: Sow and Grow Guide- Mike T.CA, United StatesVerified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars4/17/26Beautiful mix
I got these as an experiment to fill in a gap between the concrete and the fence, that just gets overwhelmed with weeds all the time. I hula hoed the weeds out which also lightly worked the soil and then spread these seeds out. I just stamped them down to "set" them and then watered. This was January 18th. I think the birds ate a number of seeds but wow have I been impressed with how well they have done! Couldn't be happier and I hope they end up self sowing for next year... even spreading around the garden. I watered them a bit every few days, except when we got some rain. I have very sandy soil and almost no clay in it.

What a brilliant idea to tackle that weedy gap with our California Color Flower Mix! We love hearing about creative solutions like this - using wildflowers to outcompete weeds is such a smart approach! Your method of hula hoeing and stamping the seeds in sounds perfect, and it's amazing how well they've established despite those sneaky birds getting some of the seeds. Sandy soil can actually be great for wildflowers once they get going! We're so excited that you're already thinking about them self-sowing - these mixes often do spread naturally and create even more beautiful displays year after year. Your little experimental patch is going to be such a colorful success! Keep on growing 🌻️

Sprinkled a few seeds in my garden bed and within 2-3 months, this was the result.

I like the mix, a little less generous in terms of sees quantity compared to other native California mixes room folks like Larner or the Theodore Payne foundation.
