- Susan I.CA, United StatesVerified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars5/2/26So fun!!
These are so fun! I scattered them in a raised bed and they’re starting to pop. I don’t know what is what and I think I was a bit dense in planting. Who cares? I enjoy seeing who’s blooming, who’s growing, and how poor scattering doesn’t really matter.

We absolutely love your approach to gardening! There's something so magical about scattering a mix and letting nature surprise you with what pops up where. Dense planting? Who cares is right - sometimes the most beautiful gardens happen when we just let things grow naturally! The Water-Wise Garden Flower Mix is perfect for this kind of fun, spontaneous gardening. You're going to have such a blast discovering all the different varieties as they bloom throughout the season - it's like unwrapping little garden gifts every day! We love that you're embracing the mystery and enjoying every step of the growing process. Keep on growing 🌻️

I planted this water-wise wildflower mix where 3 pine trees blew over in my employer's yard, and it has not disappointed. Despite the somewhat poor soil, a bunch of seeds did germinate, and although the landscape is still scarred, this garden bed, where she has a swing, has become one of her favorite places to be. The profusion of blooms makes her so happy, and it makes the pollinators happy, too!

Love these artistically represented seed packs. Have been an avid believer in the Victory Garden as my grandparents had them and family members also planted gardens.

My local Co oP sells your seeds. They have always had 100% germination.

Planted these back in November in a little patch! I couldn’t be happier with how well they’re growing and it’s still early in the season here in New Jersey! By far the most successful seed mix I’ve put down. I plan on buying more and spreading throughout other areas of my yard!
