Grandmother's Cut Flower Garden Flower Mix Seeds

5 out of 5 stars
(8 reviews)

This mix will evoke images of the simpler, less hurried time in which our grandmothers lived. An old-fashioned cutting garden was often no more than a corner of the vegetable garden where a few flower seeds were tossed. Their lovely, cheerful blossoms were a bonus after the hard work of sowing, watering, weeding, and harvesting.

Mix includes (see diagram):

  1. Baby's Breath
  2. Bishop's Flower
  3. Brown-eyed Susan
  4. Canterbury Bells
  5. Tall Catchfly
  6. Feathered Red Celosia
  7. China Aster
  8. Plains Bicolor Coreopsis
  9. Plains Red Coreopsis
  10. Corn Poppy
  11. Dwarf Cornflower
  12. Cosmos
  13. Painted Tricolor Daisy
  14. Pacific Giants Delphinium
  15. Chinese Forget-Me-Not
  16. Globe Gilia
  17. Tall Double Godetia
  18. Giant Imperial Larkspur
  19. Love-In-A-Mist
  20. Mexican Hat
  21. Sweet Sultan

Beautiful!

Aug 3, 2019
I 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!

One of My Favorites of the Mixed Flower Seed Packets

Apr 9, 2020
I 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.

Good Vigor, Can't Wait For Blooms!

Apr 14, 2020
Planted 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!

Beautiful!

I 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!

I 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.

Grandmother's Cut Flower Garden

Aug 5, 2020
I 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!!

Planting Again This Year

Dec 25, 2020
Update 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!
