Not what we expected
"We had high hopes for this mix as it was to be the area where our daughter was to be married. It was green and lush, but there were very few wildflowers. For the extra price, we expected more."
Beautiful Flowers
"The first to arrive were the Baby Blue Eyes. They seeded all over with no problem in shade or full sun. Then many of the other flowers have poppled up all over our hillside meadow. The mix is quite tall for a lawn that you would walk on, but perfect for a wild meadow. We have been happy to look for new flowers that bloom daily since early spring."
So many compliments
"I just ordered more of this mix. Comes back after a harsh winter here in Indiana and the little flowers delight everyone. It's one of the joys of my cottage garden. #sweepstakes"
slowly but surely
"We have had a lot of high winds and very little rain sometimes taking the seed a long time to grow. So far no blooms."
This is great stuff!!!
"Exactly what I hoped! Planted this in June 2020 and it did great! In April 2021 it's still going! I'll add more seed this year to the places that need it. I added other wildflower seeds (mostly zinnias) to create an amazing flower garden last year, adding some different varieties this year."
The ""Eyes"" Have It! ;)
"This is just a little follow up to show you that not much more than a month after I first spotted sprouts, the baby Blue eyes and Buffalo eyes are blooming already! It is now the first week in April. The grape hyacinth that I also planted in the same plot are still blooming, so the ground looks really pretty with lots of purples and blues. I really didn't expect blooms so soon! What a nice surprise. And with no pampering, not Having to start indoors, etc."
Cute and early!
"Oh wow! I planted these seeds in late fall. I had just put in some still-tiny perennial groundcovers. To help fill the gaps between until they grew to full size, I interplanted with short spring bulbs (crocus, dwarf Iris, etc) and then sprinkled lawn alternative wildflower mix over everything. I didn't press down the seed, I just broadcast and then hoped for the best because I didn't want to trample the new perennials. I completely did not expect the wildflowers to start sprouting already in January! Amazingly, the Tiny seedlings turned out to be cold hardy. They are now almost a month old and growing strong and healthy! They have even survived some trampling by mule deer. Everything went into fill dirt as this was part of a new landscaping project that required some leveling. I didn't add any amendments. These are tough plants! I really could not be more thrilled and the lawn alternative came up even before the bulbs. They were the first sprouts this year, And now well on their way to becoming full-fledged plants."
Love this stuff!
"Been experimenting with a now mow, low water lawn/prairie wildflower xeriscape in place of a traditional lawn in the Nevada desert we live in. I seeded my yard with this mix, micro clover, the HCG No Mow and Low Work and Water grass seed. This mix has gorgeous little flowers in it that are still going strong midsummer, after other low growing native wildflowers have gone to seed. They don't seem to wilt or dry out too much. I was going to take off one star for the price, but my yard looks like a Midsummer's Night's Dream. Will be getting more."
meh
"I used this seed mixture as an alternative to lawn in a front part of my yard. The first year the results of this seed mixture was fantastic. I experienced a variety of continuous bloom all summer. The second year very few of the plants reseeded, now I have a wonderful patch of clover."
Very Hardy seed!
"Good way to cover the ground where you want a thick green growth without using grass that can become a pest. . . . . needs some water but not very frequently."
