A beautiful, and colorful mix!
by Paige Ofstedahl
I purchased this mix in the fall of 2019 to be planted in the summer of 2020. I live in Albuquerque, and I've loved watching how everything has sprouted and bloomed these past couple months, with more yet to come! Great mix of flowers and colors. Will be purchasing another mix for next summer!
New Wonders Every Couple of Weeks
by Angelo
This packet had a never ending assortment with different varieties blooming every couple of weeks.Hummingbirds are going crazy over the late summer early fall bloomers and butterfly throughout the year. Plant where weeds aren't a problem because you never know what greenery will be a beauty.
