- Katrina H.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars7/2/26Delightful feeling of a cottage garden
I planted these seeds semi late this year in April (Zone 10A), but it didn’t seem to matter! Intense germination with healthy results, I definitely overseeded and needed to thin out the bed a bit but doing so has rewarded me with so many beautiful flowers. New ones continue to bloom everyday; my favorites are definitely the orange & yellow cosmos, the california bluebells and the tidy tips. Planted too late for the poppies and some of the colder season seeds in the mix, but I don’t mind given how everything else has thrived. The butterflies and bees love the flowers too!

- 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.

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.
