"Ordered these in April of last year and immediate sowed. I mixed some seeds with yum yum mix and soil and raked in by hand. I only put down about 1/2 the seeds around my yard (I'm on an acre in the low desert, but at about 2000ft so 9a/b), I wanted to reserve some seed for this year is needed. Nothing came up at all last year, however this year it started with the bluebells putting on quite a show, then a few lupine. I'm now seeing some other flowers poking through. I'm finding this a really effective way to discover the microclimates around my yard. The pic is the first area to bloom, and this was a small handful of seeds scattered around a lonely penstemon. Very exciting to see what's poking through, and now the hummingbirds have no use for my feeders. Took advantage of a spring rainstorm last week, to scatter the remaining seeds in new areas. Very pleased!"
"New flowers keep coming! Spread seeds along edge of blue grama grass lawn and sidewalk in April and had lovely flowers by early June. New flowers bloom every couple of weeks and the height of the flowers block a majority of weeds. Watering twice weekly with soaker hose seems to keep blooms coming, even in 100 degree temps. Many positive comments from neighbors."
"New flowers with various colors boomed seamlessly all spring, summer and fall."
"The southwest corner of the house is just brutal. Completely unprotected with dark rock landscaping and hot stucco house, no roof overhang. Disturbed construction soil that is extremely compacted. The wind and sun comes from that direction and it is on a non-water-retaining slope. Our soil here is the pits, alkaline and low nitrogen. It was a catch 22 that nothing I planted could get started as a pioneer species that would help pave the way for other plants. Nothing could grow because nothing was growing. So I decided to over-plant in a dense matrix of extremely hardy and water wise, sun tolerant desert plants. I went with a full arsenal of small trees, shrubs, grasses, fall planted (spring blooming) bulbs, succulents, evergreen perennials, groundcovers and then this herbaceous perennial and annual seed mix. I am happy to report that this plan of getting everything in the ground and then letting them all grow up together and supporting each other by providing one another with shade and water retention is creating a sort of living mulch. The dead zone is quickly turning into an oasis! I sowed the seeds early last winter and now that it is very early spring, they have sprouted and are doing very well! I can see several different species already. What care I provided: not much! When the ground was somewhat soft following some precipitation, I used a hard rake to create little ridges in the soil to capture the seed so they wouldn't wash away. I then spread the seeds and walked over them to press them into the soil. After they sprouted in very early spring, I watered them whenever we would have a very hot dry spell lasting more than seven days . This is such an exposed area that sometimes I had to sprinkle on a little water twice a day instead of just once. The attached photo shows a sampling of this seed mix's young growth. It looks like a miniature jungle and I could not be more pleased."
"Only rain received in AZ this spring washed seed away. Then we got brutal heat with wind. Will try again. Will plant on flat area this fall. Cover with screen to protect from critters."
"I spread these seed over a large area and now my yard is completely covered with beautiful flowers. I did the spreading over several days, so they are all coming out a different times. I am so happy to have turned my backyard into a wild flower meadow. It was so ugly and discouraging and now it is beautiful and full of flowers and butterflies and bees. I have so many flowers, i have been able to gift my friends with beautiful bouquets. i am now the Flower Lady! And am hoping they will self-seed, as in your description and I will be able to enjoy my flowers for many seasons to come. And even with our horrible drought, my flowers are thriving! Thank you!"
