Super germination rate
I simply scattered seeds and watered them faithfully for about a month. Chipmunks and squirrels kept going after the tender seedlings so I sprayed them with cayenne water which actually helped. As you can see in the pic with rows, I had to thin them just to try to give them all enough air and light, so I put the ones I dug up in pots. In the future, I’d use bigger pots as a lot of these grow TALL and get top-heavy. Starting about two months after planting, I got little blue flowers and some tiny white ones as well. Soon after, I got a few daisies and a few gorgeous dahlias. Starting around month three and a half, they really took off, which is what you see in the pics. I can’t believe how many flowers I have for such low effort and little money.

12 days after planting and lots of flowers now growing.
-Update- It's now July 21st and a few kinds of flowers have been blooming. The patch I planted along with sunflowers didn't work out so well and ended up pulling most of them except the ones right in front, my fault for planting too many sunflowers too close together. I just extended that area at the end and put some more seeds down and they are already sprouting. But the ones I planted to hide the gas meters are coming along great, those things really took off and some are over 3' tall. I actually had to thin alot out since I put down too much seed, there were so many flowers they were falling over themselves. I pulled all the vine type ones that have white flowers and just kept them in the front so they spill over onto the lawn. The colors are amazing, whites, blues, red, yellow, and these bright pinks. And most haven't even bloomed yet. This area only gets about 4hrs direct sun a day due to being so close to the house. If I doesn't rain in a few days I'll just get out my 2 gallon watering can and give them a good drink. I'll feed them with the Miracle Grow plant food once a week.-Update- It's now June 23rd about one month since putting the seeds down and they are growing like crazy filling in everything. I think I made a mistake planting these with my sunflowers, the sunflowers are getting so huge that there leaves block out most of the sun underneath them so the flowers aren't getting much sun. I also planted the sunflowers too close to eachother. I went to water them with a watering can and alot of the flowers flopped over, they were tall and lanky. I went in and pulled most of the taller flowers out and just left the short ones. I pulled handfuls and still have alot left. I also made the mistake of throwing grass seed down before I had the brilliant idea to plant flowers instead, I had tried to rake out the grass seed prior to putting the flower seeds down but from the photos I see I didn't do such a good job and there's alot of grass growing too. As you can see I have no idea what I'm doing. But I can say these flower seeds are good to go, I can see alot of different types of flowers growing though have no idea what they are. I'm even seeing the 1st flowers already showing, little white flowers. Next time I'll plant these flowers by themselves so they receive full sun instead of them being in shade like they are now. I'm still happy since it seems some of these flowers don't mind shade and are flowering already.I got these wildflowers to plant with sunflowers in my back yard. The area was never really taken care of and full of weeds so I pulled all the weeds out then turned over the dirt with a shovel. It was mostly dry sandy dirt so I added a few bags of Miracle Grow garden soil and mixed it up good. I had some sunflowers already growing in cups so I transplanted those first then sprinkled this wildflower seed mix over the dirt and pressed it in with the back of a garden rake so the seeds hopefully wouldn't easily wash away.I watered the area daily, sometimes twice a day to keep the soil moist but not soaked. It's now 12 days since planting and there's alot of flowers sprouting and growing. I think I spread too much, I used the entire bag and the area is only about 3'x15'. There's alot of sprouts growing clumped together so hopefully they will thin themselves out or I'll have to go in and thin them out by hand.I'm very happy so far that they are growing which means the seeds are good. If something happens to them then it's probably my fault, either screwing up with watering or fertilizing. I shouldn't of spread the entire bag down in such a small area since my sunflowers are growing huge already, it's already getting crowded in there.I'll try to remember to update as the flowers grow.

Well worth the 100 day wait!
I have never enjoyed a 10 dollar purchase so much in my life. My neighbors are thrilled as well. I spread these in April and gave a reminder to myself on amazon echo for the. approximately 3 months the package said it would take. I forgot all about it and somehow thought all the greenery i was seeing outside was just summer. Then one weekend i looked out my window and did a doubletake! Flowers! Was four days before the date i asked echo to remember. And more and more each day. Right now there are 85 big flowers and a whole lot of small onesThe hardiest and most prolific and noticeable are the black eyed Susans . They're tall as well and the bees love them. Showiest are the blanket flowers. Some of my favorites are orange ones and a delicate pale yellow. Theres also a couple of purple ones, one blue flower growing, small white ones close to the ground, giant leaves more than a foot wide, leaves that are pink and tall weedy things that i have no idea if they will flower. Oh now theres these strange deep red that are shaped like beetles. Wish i knew the names of all of theseIt has rained a lot this season and its very sunny in the field. I don't know if thats why they are so successful. I am not a gardener. But i am very possessive of these and feel like i did something great tho did nothing at all...

Successful Season, Lots of Filler Flowers
So my failures at planting these aside... we have had a really successful growing season! We have had plenty of flowers and growth and they have been consistent throughout the whole of the summer and the heat. I water once a week or so, to make sure they get some water. Tragedy struck early when someone mistook the plants for weeds and weed whacked them down to nothing, but they recovered well. My only complaint is that my bag seems to have contained mostly filler plants - Queen Anne's Lace & Cornflower. There are only three zinnia plants in the bunch (maybe the only ones that survived) - disappointing because they are what I was most excited about it. There is a single Cosmos, a single sunflower variety, two Mexican Hat. Despite this, I feel like season 1 was successful, and as an added bonus we have had an abundance of bee, butterfly, and dragonfly visitors. Will fill in next year with just zinnia seeds.

Did not germinate
I grow a lot of flowers from seed. I sowed this entire bag in a prepared area in May after frost and watered but nothing germinated. It is now August. Very disappointed.

Wildflower Mix
Do your research on wildflowers. I planted these seeds in an area that's shady most of the day, and while the plants did grow, they stayed short and didn't produce flowers other than the baby's breath and cornflowers. They would have needed more sun. That's on me.

Great product
I think I have had these seeds for almost a few years by now & they are still growing well. Most of the time I just sprinkle the seeds in small pots & give them away as gifts.I try to help spread awareness of how important it is to have varieties of flowers for the bees, butterflies & hummingbirds.

Quality Product
I planted about half a bag of these I think it was, at the front garden plot of our apartment building. The package said that it takes X amount of days to grow or flower. Something like that. Anyhow, the wildflowers grew like crazy in way less time and are very colourful and healthy! I do water them a lot so maybe that is why they grew much faster than it says on the package. I would recommend and buy again.
