Mixed Perennial Garden Flower Seed Grow Your own Colourful Plants Such as Wallflowers, Poppies & Dianthus Bee Friendly 1 x 15g Pack by Thompson & Morgan

These just keep giving. I've now prepared some further little 'plots' in various places around the garden. Once established after seeding - the blooms never seem to die - because others replace them and the overall effect is long-lasting colour. I seeded mine on hard ground just before the drought of April - after lifting some slabs and whilst deciding what to do! Realising my mistake, I poured 2 X 60 Lt bags of compost on the seeds and water once or twice daily for a month. I also put a tarpaulin over during the heatwave. Then it rained and they were 6inch deep in water. I almost wept. But here is my reward!Just don't plant them before a heatwave - water till settled and then ENJOY!

Easy to fill a space! I had a large raised bed and wanted to fill it without spending hours planting and a lot of money so I thought I’d give this a try. 300l of compost, sprinkled the seeds, added some top soil and more compost then watered. I think the weather has helped with lots of rain and sun. Started getting green shoots after a few weeks and to this within about 6-8 weeks. Things are still opening daily. It’s lovely, a bargain and the bees love it!

I sowed these seeds three weeks ago so it's too early to give a full review. That said, there are lots of green seedlings sprouting up. Seems to be a good even spread but time will tell. Hopefully they will continue to grow! 🤞Update 08/06/21 - 7 weeks after sowing the seeds, there is significant growth. The seedlings look well established and some are about 10-15cm tall. I've been stepping on the bed a lot because I've been planting other things so I'm surprised they are still growing so well! I still water the area when it's warm and dry. I've been trying to identify the seedlings based on the leaf shape but the only one I'm confident about so far is lupin. Hopefully I'll be able to upload a photo with pretty flowers soon.Update 06/07/21 - 11 weeks after sowing flowers have started to come out. The weather hasn't been great in the UK the last couple of weeks; we haven't had much sun and the garden has been battered by heavy rain. Hopefully with more sunshine I will see more flowers bloom (there are lots of buds poised and ready) because at the moment the display is underwhelming (not at the fault of the product though).

I'm not green fingered in the slightest. To be honest I'm amazed I've kept my kids alive the amount of times I've killed plants.My kids shook the box all over the planting bed and we waited for something to happen.At first it looked like the day of the triffids was becoming real life, but low and behold some flowers started to grow.These flowers have survived the lovey UK weather, cats digging and the ultimate test, children.I found one weed, but then again a weed is only a flower in the wrong place. The rest have grown well. I have a variety of poppies, cornflowers, forget me knots and others that I haven't a clue what they are but look pretty.If you're wanting your garden to have that unkempt wildlife jungle look, then these flowers are for you.These are also great for the CBA gardener who wants things to look good but doesn't want the hassle of maintenance.

Used on a patch of garden not required for food or cultivated flowers. Instructions followed carefully but the wild flower germination rates have been very poor.

Bought this and followed instructions for weeks but not one flower appeared. Rubbish item don't buy

Can only speak for my own case and based on the annual/perennial mix, but I sowed in October/November 2018 - saw green growth within a month and now have a sea of colour across my garden bed. Some off the plants are a bit unwieldy at first growth but worth it for when they flower and show what they were hiding. Great product and value for money in my view. Hopefully they all return next year!

Bought these to put in a large plant pot sowed last August watered regularly and sprouted within ten days some flowered over winter and died off but most didn’t actually flower until this spring so far only a couple in a few different varieties but think more may come as time goes on still look very pretty and attract lots of bees and butterflies will definitely buy more
