Drought Tolerant Wildflower Seeds - 4oz Packet, Open-Pollinated Bulk Flower Seed Mix for Beautiful Perennial, Annual Garden Flowers - No Fillers - 1/4 Pound

Loosely threw these over a re-excavated hill last fall before the snow and they have just come in so beautifully! We live in the high desert with generally harsh growing conditions, short and hot summer, not much natural rainfall. Neighbors are asking me where I got this. I used around 12 packets in total.Highly recommended!

I planted these after the last frost in late March. At first it looked like there was only going to be a few, but here we are July 2nd and they have really taken off! I can’t wait for another week or two when all the little buds I see bloom and it’s all flowers!

These things bloomed like crazy all the way to the first hard freeze, which killed them. Some flowers are so tall, they require support. I didn't have anything for that so they all fell over on the ground. The marigolds were fabulous.

But my house up in the mountains in the foothills of the seirras get shade, sun, shade, sun all day and over 90, the flop over, I knew I overplayed, but loose a lot so what wants to grow will grow. I threw in forget me nots and baby's breath mix drought and suns/shade to see what stays and what grows. Also got yarrow mix and notices I had nariholds in my part shade nix.pretty orange yellow red blooms. But really the forget me nots have been the most likely to survive in my garden. I plantd last years just to see, but cosmos and taller ones fall over in hot sun and the little ones does underneath. Bummer.. But I like the company, from my home state of Oregon!

None of my seeds sprouted. I used half the bag. I'll try again in a different location see if that helps. Not thrilled.

Planted in a freshly tractor-tilled 6x120ft patch near the beehives. Watered faithfully. An adjacent same-sized patch to the north of sunflowers all germinated and grew fine with same watering plan, in the same soil, but these seeds failed to germinate anything, except a very few scattered California poppies, so you could see where all the seeds were sown. Normally I would put seeds in the fridge for a couple months to promote germination, but this mix didn't say it needed it, and it was mid spring, so I didn't. Either it did need cold stratification first, or they were simply just not good germinating seeds. It will be interesting to see if any germinate after they sit in the ground over winter, after I shallow-till the plot this fall. If they do, I'll edit the review and ensure that everyone knows they need cold stratification first.

I grew up in the PNW where bachelor buttons grew in fields. Moved south to drought territory and snagged these without realizing bachelor buttons are in the mix. Planted and bloomed!!!! They’re still coming up and delighting my heart so much!!! The variety is still coming to light. The colors are plentiful!!! I can’t believe what a fantastic deal I got from the number of seeds being SO FULL and phenomenal quality!!! Thank you!!!

I have a planter alongside my front walk way that has been bare for a few years. Reason being is 4 months of the year it does not get any direct sunlight, and when it does - it's 100+ degrees for a few months. So I figured - why not plant native wildflowers. Every time I am out tending to the flowers, people driving by stop and compliment my flower garden. The variety of flowers range in height from 8 inches to 3+ ft high, and stand up to the summer heat very well. The seed sprout percentage is about 70-80%.
