Owner Response: Hi Virginia, We are sorry you didn't see a full array of varieties in this mix. Because the mix is diverse seeds will take different amounts of time to germinate and emerge and will require consistent moisture until all species emerge. A customer service agent will be contacting you to help.

Owner Response: Hi Gabs, Thank you for sharing your feedback. To answer your questions our seeds do not have fillers or weed seeds. Quality is very important to us and our seeds are tested frequently by a third-part laboratory to ensure germination rates meet federal and our own standards. In your area (CA) poppies are best sown in fall for cool-season germination as soon as conditions are right. As a reminder, these should be surface sown as light aids germination. It is not uncommon for a recently cultivated and watered area to sprout weeds, like common chickweed, from the existing seed bank. It would be best to gently clear the chickweed to give the poppies a fighting chance; cutting the weeds down to avoid disrupting the soil and desired seeds/seedlings is ideal. We are always happy to help troubleshoot issues--just send us an email or give us a call. Happy gardening!
