Oct 14, 2019I wasn't expecting much from the seed packet and I was pleasantly surprised. Particularly by the zinnias - their color and brilliance can be seen by 100 yards away across the backyard and I'm on the website in order to buy more. I'm not sure how the other customer experience the negative review but we have been thrilled with what came out of this little seed packet. The monarchs are also enjoying it!

Apr 15, 2020These flowers were spectacular, I've never had such great success and massive blooms from other seed packets. I highly recommend these and will be buying them again year after year. If only I could post a picture of how beautifully these grew, and the butterflies and bees they attracted!

May 12, 2020I planted half the packet in a large size flower pot at the end of March. The flowers are so big and I've even thinned out about 6 basil and given some as gifts to friends and family. I love this mix and I will plant it every year!

Jun 29, 2020I am so pleased with this packet of seeds! I planted one whole raised bed and had seeds left over to share. This packet has many varieties that I've never seen or grown before. Every time I look at this little garden I see several bees, which were becoming scare in my garden. Thanks for such a high quality product. This is my first time planting Botanical Interests seeds and I'll definitely be using them again.

DID NOT GERMINATE
1 out of 5 stars
Nov 18, 2020
Nov 18, 2020I had great success with this mix a few years ago. However this year's mix (which was labelled as being for 2021) had a very low germination rate and what did grow was stunted. (This was planted in the same location as the previous mix.) Very disappointing.
Lisette Ellis from NM
Owner Response: Hi Lisette,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are sorry you experienced poor germination with this flower mix. Rest assured that our seeds are tested frequently by a third-party laboratory to ensure germination rates exceed both federal and our own standards. A customer service agent will be contacting you to help. As for stunted growth, a soil test or amendment may be in order. After seeds germinate their performance is dependent upon their environment because they utilize soil nutrients, water, and sunlight to create their own food. As we use an area and harvest vegetables or remove plants we also remove the nutrients the plants take up, depleting the soil over time. Often an inch or so of compost can perk your soil back up. Happy gardening!
Bees everywhere!

Owner Response: Hi Marie,
We hope you find even more enjoyment from this flower mix as the season progresses. We design these mixes to bloom all growing season so you will see more diversity as the season goes on, rather than everything blooming at once and petering out. Happy gardening!

Nov 21, 2021These are the first wildflowers I've planted, and I am so pleased that bees have returned to my garden! And a few butterflies as well. I think all the seeds sprouted. The sunflowers were 5' high this summer. Right now, it's late November in California, and the zinnias, cosmos and borage are all still in full bloom. The California poppies and borage have actually blossomed, gone to seed, spread, and already re-sprouted elsewhere in my garden...amazing! And the bees love them all. A fantastic assortment of seeds!

Question about sunflowers in the mix
4 out of 5 stars
Jun 19, 2022
Jun 19, 2022I am having trouble figuring out if the sunflowers in this packet are annuals or perennials? Mine seem to be wilting/dying and I cannot determine if this is to be expected and natural or if I should try to save them some how? It seems like the sunflowers keep sprouting new heads and leaves off the same main stalk which gives me hope. Not sure if I should prune the drooling dying heads that petals have turned a light yellow as opposed to the richer deep yellow they started with. Otherwise extremely pleased with this packet of seeds particularly the zinnias and herbs are amazing.
Klara from TX
Owner Response: Hi Klara, We're so glad to hear that you are enjoying this seed mixture. The sunflowers are annuals. Sunflowers will begin to wilt after their peak bloom, so as long as new heads are forming and blooms as expected, this seems normal! Feel free to reach out to us with any questions. Happy gardening!

Jun 29, 2022I sowed these seeds entering a hot Florida summer. I did not expect much, I was just trying to find a cheap way to attract pollinators to my yard. I have been thrilled. The zinnias, borage and sunflowers are absolutely beautiful. Some of the varieties are struggling, but that is a result of our harsh summers. The sunflowers are so healthy they provide shade for my vegetable garden allowing me to extend my growing season. I usually stick to Florida native plants, but will definitely make an exception for this seed packet.

Jul 21, 2022I can't say enough good about this superlative pollinator mix. Well thought out, on many levels. Vibrant offerings for the pollinators. Hardy, strong, dependable, gorgeous variety of forms, colors & growth heights. I'm learning from it how to further nurture my soil & the pollinator it supports! Can't wait to get up in the a.m. to walk outside & see where it's at each day. It gives me a feeling of cheeriness, power, goodness & joy every day! Botanical Interests never disappoint!
