Made in the Shade Flower Mix Seeds

I've been a customer of BI for many years and have always loved the success of their seeds in my garden as well as their helpful and beautiful seed packet information and illustrations. This was the first time I tried a blended packet. You can see how well they did! They funny thing is that at this time of the spring, this area is not as shaded as I thought it would be. Oops. But since they have filled out so well, the truly shaded varieties like Johnny Jump Up and Coleus are protected enough to survive.

Last summer i threw this Made in the Shade package of seeds in a shady area with a variety of plants, including bulbs whose greenery was fading away. I didn't plant them - just threw them around in the middle of hot summer (not the best time to germinate seeds). It was fairly shady and there was shade from plants in there as well, and old leaf mulch. I expected nothing, but am always willing to give love a chance. I made a point of keeping it lightly watered for a couple of weeks. Within a few months a red flower popped up that i did not plant. Looking at the wonderful map identifying the flowers in mix patches (love those - thx), i think it was the english wallflower. Will see if any remains of it show up this year? The most important thing that happened is that this spring i have a gorgeous (quite large) forget-me-not growing in that area!!! I have tried for years to get this flower happening in my garden. Thank you. Thank you. peace, love and flowers....
