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!
Germanated quickly on a heat mat. Off the mat and growing ready to transplant early/mid april. Excited for leeks this autumn
Last year I bought seeds from my local store and I didnt get anything to germinate. This year I purchased all my seeds from MIGardener and I've had to give seedlings away cause nearly all the seeds sprouted!!!
Great germination! I'm excited to see how the onions turn out
My only complaint is that I was not prepared for how well and fast all of the seeds would grow soI had to pot up earlier than expected! I am very happy with all of the seeds I have purchased from here!
I think I got near perfect germination on these. Cauliflower has always been challenging for me to time it out and know when to harvest. I've been learning that crops that have purple or reds in them (looking at my red lettuce varieties and purple sprouting broccoli) seem to bolt less quickly than their green counterparts in heat.
