The nature of wildflowers is when you want them to grow, they won't, and when you never want to see them they will come up in a thin crack in the concrete sidewalk. They are hit and miss-not a crop. I have used other seed packs for wildflowers so I will past on some tips. Denude the soil of all weeds so you just have dirt. I can't tell you how many time the light seed float down and get stuck on weeds and may never germinate. Step on the seeds to stick them on the soil, then cover with a minimum of 1/2" of soil. Almost all wildflowers will have root nodules that will make flower next year. Water often for a few weeks Gently because you don't want to wash them away. Birds and squirrels will also eat their share no matter what you do. The absolute worst producing wildflower is the bluebonnet because it is a legume. It has a hard shell that needs to be scorched in the summer and then frozen to crack in the winter the hard shell to crack for one, two or even three years sometimes. With the heat the plant will die-do not yank the dead pant ever on a bluebonnet. Please note many of these plants die soon after flowing. Do not yank the dead or nasty looking plant out as you will also be yanking the seed nodule out as well and it may or may not re-seed. Next year, wash rinse and repeat. These are coated seeds that are ready to germinate. For best results start planting right after your last known freeze. Pro tip: When you visit other wildflowers you like grab some seeds from the dead plants. Best results for planting this seed type is late summer when it is very how and plants are dying of the heat. Toss on dry nude soil, then cover with dirt and wait for nature to do the rest. Some years you will have bumper crops, some years bust outs with a few clumps here and there. Once you get a production going (couple of years in a row) you won't have to do anything because nature will handle it. From the hill country of Austin.

Good product, be patient and bypass the beginning "rag weeds appearances" and then you will be happy.. With Many beautiful flowers..My experience with the seeds: I planted the seeds. The first month all I could see was ragweeds , which were aggressively growing, fast and tall, all over. From the second month the wild flowers started showing up. I pulled out most of the rag weeds and let the rest of the plants to prosper. In the picture you can see a tall ragweed, on the far side. I just left some of ragweeds to make shade for the rest. Now flowers are all over in three locations. good product, and It does worth your money.

My only issue (I know it's small) but I think they could have placed the sticker someplace other than the guidelines for planting! This is a much more affordable way to plant a large area.

It may have been the weather but it took a while for these seeds to start growing- once they did though they took off. I live in region 3 for growing and sowed these seeds in early spring. It is now july and I have had plenty of cosmos blooms. Starting with the orange ones and then the yellows ones a few weeks after. I have just started to have some other varieties come up this month such as Indian blankets, and lazy Susan’s. I have produced a ton of cosmos seeds and they also tend to self seed. I’ve been collecting the seeds as well to spread around in more areas for next spring. Have gotten so many butterflies, and grasshoppers from these flowers. Can’t wait to have the bluebonnets come up next year and for the other colors of verbena in the fall.

Ordered this twice, first time figured we had put it down to late in the season so decided to try a second time. This was a complete waste of money. It has now been about a month since place as instructed and we have nothing but weeds. There are no flower of any kinda any where when in the area that we placed it. Highly DO NOT Recommend purchasing.

It’s a little ridiculous how much joy my little plot of wildflowers has brought me. I didn’t know if they’d do anything, but they grew very fast. I started with a clean area, pulling weeds and turning the dirt, then I simply scattered some seeds on top of the ground and started lightly watering every day. For reference, I’m in North Texas and my flower bed gets shade part of the day. So far the Cosmos is all that’s bloomed, but I can see several different kinds of leaves, including bluebonnets. I planted these on the first day of May.

The grow quickly but I only had one kind of flower bloom. Beautiful but also disappointed.

I've never had any luck growing flowers from seeds but I've always wanted to plant wild flowers at my garden to attract pollinators. I planted some seeds late fall as recommended, and some seeds early spring. I was pleasantly surprised how fast those flowers were growing as soon as the weather started to warm up. I can't be happier with the variety of vibrant flowers that add so much color to my garden. I'll be purchasing more next year
