    It was very easy to grow these seeds. The sunflowers seeds grew so tall and beautiful.

    I planted a combination of Save the Bees and Fairy Meadow along my fence. It looks great. It is heavy on the coriander, dill, and borage though, at least in my growing conditions in Ohio. You will definitely need to thin out the borage. It is very large and will take over.

    I was pleasantly surprised how easily these seeds grew. I just sporadically threw them on a prepared bed in the middle of July last summer. I’m now ordering more for myself and friends.

    These are a beautiful collection. We love the colors and I do have bees in my yard. We love honey so want to keep the bees for pollination, etc.
