I’m very very bad at gardening, so I bought these seeds with low expectations of myself lol let’s just get that out of the way.
The reviews made me hopeful. We have a really plain yard and I wanted a mix of seeds that were local to where we live. This mix had the most local flowers. Meaning it’s not like planting a redwood in Florida.
I used miracle grow potting soil, I don’t know if that’s good or bad but it was affordable. I got a bunch of 18”x10” planters and followed the instructions for how deep to plant the seeds.
I planted maybe half of them on a Saturday afternoon and by THURSDAY there were sprouts in every planter. I got so excited that I dug up some of the dirt by a tree in the front yard and sprinkled some there.
They have already exceeded my expectations.
I’m buying another bag of just the Bee seeds and some more dirt because this purchase created a monster. lol I hope I can update with a photo of flowers later.
I have planted a bajillion seeds out of those packets you get from Lowe’s or wherever and nothing has ever bloomed. So, these seeds are good. I think the rest of it might be up to how competent I am.
So far I’m really geeked.

Butterflies love them!
Since these have started to bloom we have seen more and different butterflies in the yard. They love all the flowers. Once I scattered the seeds I let the sprinklers water them a few times per week and they’ve been blooming nonstop. I bought a second pack and it’s doing just as well. These were planted about 4 months ago (1st pic) and 2 months ago (2nd pic).

After very little prep in an unused area needing some color, we spread the seeds then lightly covered with Miracle-Gro garden soil. Had sprouts in 5 days!
This pic is 4 months later.
Just repeated in another area.
Love the blooms and colors!

Planted these roughly 7 days ago in freshly tilled sand berm left from building the new house here in Citrus Springs, FL. Tilled a small amount of topsoil to the mix. Haphazardly scattered seeds, then watered lightly every day. Bear in mind I also threw in ~25,000 puny poppy seeds as well a few tiny packages of another wildflower mix. Probably got a bit carried away but I am very impressed with the germination of the seeds. Will update on progress.
