Aug 3, 2019I broadcasted these in my garden in early spring. I now have a lush and colorful patch of beautiful flowers. I especially love to trim bunches of the Chinese forget me nots for bouquets. I see poppies coming up and a few other types of plants that will bloom soon. It's exciting to always see something new blooming. I love this mix!

Apr 9, 2020I have purchased most of the mixed packets that Botanical Interests sells. My two favorites are this one and the Hummingbird Mix. This one has a lot of old time favorites, is very hardy, colorful and easy to grow. It attracts lots of pollinators too.

Apr 14, 2020Planted a half barrel container in mid Feb to test this variety out. Planter is bursting with young plants and even over seeding a bit and without thinning, I can see 9 or 10 varieties all with similar vigor and another 4 or 5 that are close enough in size that they should survive and flower even getting shaded out a bit. That's pretty impressive for a wildflower mix, where you can often have just a few that take over the bed. Looking forward to May and June!

Jul 8, 2020I never have had much luck with seeds before, no matter how hard I try I can't seem to get them to grow. I was thinking that the same would be true for this pack too but I was so wrong. I planted these seeds and within days they were already starting to grow. I am so excited for all the beautiful flowers that will be here soon. The planter is overflowing! I can't wait to try some other botanical interests mixes!

Jul 26, 2020I planted this entire packet( larger size) in a new bed I dug and it's amazing! The flowers bloom continuously and the bees love it. I will definitely get more for the future.

Aug 5, 2020I planted these seeds in a new garden I created this year. There were several perrenials in between which I sowed the seeds in early May. As the seeds began to grow and bloom, I was amazed at how beautiful the collection was. It changed weekly, with new flowers replacing the spent ones. I had many compliments on the garden from neighbors, and decided that this was the only way I would ever grow a flower garden again. No more buying flats and planting on my hands and knees!!

Dec 25, 2020Update to my earlier review: Here in the Bay Area, this mix bloomed into October until the sun was blocked by my apartment. This mix will go into some other beds this year and replace less impressive mixes. Fantastic!

Nov 11, 2021I planted these seeds very late in the season and have been thrilled with the results! Every day I've gone outside looking forward to seeing what popped open that day : ) I call the little ones my "fairy flowers" as they are so delicate and beautiful. Mine are in pots on my deck, so I recently brought some indoors to save them from frost, and they're still blooming right in my dining room! So pretty - I just love them : )

I don't know what happened

Dec 23, 2021I got these seeds to put under my trees. They didn't really take off. I'm not sure what happened. They had plenty of sun and rain and I got a few buds come up, but not really much else. I'm planning a separate wildflower garden for next year, so I'll definitely be trying again.

Owner Response: Hi Diana,
We are sorry you had difficulty with these flowers. When seeds germinate but the plants don't perform well it is due to growing conditions. Planting under a tree would almost in every situation be too little light for full sun plants like these that require 6 or more hours of direct sun. Also, some trees, like pines, have shallow roots and will outcompete plants in their root area. Some trees, like black walnut, exude chemicals that prevent other plants from growing close to them. A soil test is always helpful also. In most cases seeds will need to be watered regularly, rather than relying just on rain, to establish well and you can check moisture just by feeling the top inches of the soil. Happy gardening!
