AnnualEschscholzia californica. This beautiful variety of California's state flower is breathtaking when mass planted. Large bright flowers with black and yellow pistols attract honey bees and other pollinators to the garden. This variety loves warm weather but can also survive cooler temperatures.

The amount of seeds in the packet doesn't seem accurate
Thriller. Gorgeous, especially when a breeze catches them. Attention-getter. And deserves it. It's the satiny 'little red dress' of flowers. The pollinators will thank you. As will the birds who nom on their seeds, keeping it from becoming weedy. Very long-blooming. And with that beautiful shade of blue-green foliage, too!
Spiller. In the sense of naturalizing, especially on slopes, big or small. Imagine that red blanketing a hillside! Stabilizes erosion-prone areas. (In a container, acts as thriller.) Plant en masse for best effect.
Filler. Tucks in well with other drought tolerant plantings, even with a little shade. Perfect for poor sand or clay soils. Quick to establish. Cold stratification helpful. Super low maintenance. Deadheading prolongs blooming - but that's easy. Depending on zones, may be perennial.
Among its other attributes not mentioned above, it's edible!
Great seeds
Last year I decided to plant a "tunnel" of sunflowers on the other side of my tall blueberry bushes and these added a colorful variety to the typical yellow! These are now a favorite that will be a "grow again!"
I received a packet of this mix with a previous greenstalk order through MIgardener (best price around!) and was pleasantly surprised how easy it was to grow and how delicious it was! I’ve never grown salad greens before and this was the perfect mix. Even after burning out on gardening late in the summer, I will always look forward to growing this salad green mix in the spring. Thanks for introducing me!
Our banana peppers arrived fairly quickly, even though there was a winter storm in Michigan.
I'm sure they will do well, as most seeds from Migardener do well.
I’ve been growing these for multiple years now. I love all the little surprises that come up. I have quite a collection of cactus plants now, thanks to these seed packets.
Excellent germination! Excellent packaging! Probably jumped the gun a bit but only planted 6 seeds for now!
