Hardy and drought tolerant

I planted these in a dry, sunny area of my yard, they thrived with very little water. Mixed colors are bright and cheerful, they self-seed nicely and come back every year. Great for wildflower gardens.

Cheap all-in-one mix for new wildlife gardeners

Rather than buying six separate single-color seed packs, this mix lowers cost while offering diverse nectar to support bees and butterflies.

Vibrant mixed cornflowers

These cornflower seeds have a gorgeous mix of colors, from classic blue to pink, white, and purple. They bloom all summer, are easy to grow, and make great cut flowers for bouquets.

Works great in pots, edging and large meadows

I tested this blend inside balcony planters, sidewalk border strips and large backyard meadow plots; grows great everywhere.

Balanced multi-color wild meadow blend

A single packet holds evenly mixed blue, pink, purple, yellow, white and burgundy blooms. No single color dominates the planting patch.

Blooms in waves for months of steady garden color

Different colored variants bloom sequentially instead of all at once. The meadow patch never looks bare March to early September.
