I planted 2 packets of these seeds in January (Live in NE Florida) I did have to cover them in Jan and Feb from some frost we had - but it is now August - deep into a HOT and HUMID summer. And look! Still going strong - First blooms arrived in March with Sunflowers and has never stopped. I was nervous with the summer and it had bloomed so early - but still bees, hummingbirds, dragonflies, bugs, even an occasional small bird to take a rest. I am so thrilled with this purchase.

This mix is a combination of save the bees and pollinators mix and just wow! I've counted at least 10-13 varieties that have yet to bloom but are growing in strong! The cosmos were first and I've gotten 4 different colors so far, zinnias at least 3 colors and the sunflowers are now 2 feet tall! Can't wait to see how the rest blooms as summer goes!

First time adding flowers to my garden, and it has been the best decision, constant pollinators & birds visit my garden and the sunflowers and all the colors have all my neighbors stopping to take pictures ! Even was able to make a couple nice bouquets !

I sprinkled the entire packet along the edge of my garden the last week of April. I'm not a gardener by any means. As you can see, the flowers are all flourishing. When we bought our home last year, our soil was highly acidic, rock-hard clay in some areas and marshy wetlands in others. So, to see anything other than horsetails and buttercup grow is very, very rewarding. Thank you, Botanical Interests!

I planted these in a variety of ways and places, and I got one single sunflower, 2 coreopsis, and maybe 3 milkweeds. Wont buy again. Had much better luck with the grandmas cut bouquet mix last year.
