Monarch Butterfly Rescue Wildflower Seed Packet - 1oz, Open-Pollinated Wildflower, No Fillers, Annuals, Perennials and Milkweed Seeds for Monarch Butterfly 1oz

I live in zone 9 and I planted these in January, it's the end of March now and we have enjoyed tons of blooms. These seeds germinatated really well. I tried seed startera but it actually worked best just planting them in the ground. My kids love seeing the butterflies that come visit us and enjoy the bright colors.

Hoping this new bag has milkweed at least the one that’s local which here in California on the American river should be a pink and white milkweed, but we’ll see if it’s tropical. I’ll pull them out because I don’t want endanger the monarch more but it doesn’t look like I ever got any milkweed not from the first bag nor this bag I did search through the bag of seeds and saw zero seeds for milkweed, the quality is good. The colors are beautiful. The size of the cosmos are huge in the shapes look normal. The growth is quick.

I planted these seeds fall of 2021, they immediately started growing some things and what did grow tolerated my winter in zone 7(even survived under a day or two of snow). They have continued to grow, improve and even self seed a little bit more and more each year. Right plant right place is evident here as the ones I had closer to the front of my house have more lighting and have performed better. This is the north west side of the house. Wildflower seeds do better in poorer soil, but something I read indicated that they would benefit from what mushroom compost contributes so I did add that, otherwise no food, just water the first few weeks until sprouts emerged. The cone flowers have had leaves since early days, but only started to flower this year. There is a good succession of flowers throughout the spring and summer. The pollinators love it and we now have monarchs visiting these flowers. As I keep developing my pollinator friendly garden/yard I keep seeing more and more varied pollinators every season.

To say this is a mix for monarchs might be a bit of a stretch (based on the % of milkweed seeds) but my garden pollinators love these flowers! I have hummingbirds feeding off the larkspur and the candy tuft has attracted so many hoverflies that they've totally obliterated the aphids, including those pesky orange ones who fancy my milkweed! I haven't seen every flower in the mix present itself yet, but it's been a weird spring and I still have new plants sprouting even months after planting. If you just want milkweed go buy it separately, but if you want more pollinators in your yard I definitely recommend this mix!

I planted the first batch a week ago and am already seeing some sprouts in the soil. I can't wait to see what pollinators these flowers attract.

I bought these last March and my daughter planted them in a pot. They grew very easily and they were the cutest little flowering weeds. This year, I planted in my garden beds along with my veggies. They’re still beautiful but got so large they overtook 😅. Some of the stalks were 2 inches thick. The flowers are beautiful though and it kept weeds out.

I'm still waiting for the rest of the order for this and the hummingbird order I placed. I received exactly 1 package of butterfly seeds and 1 package of hummingbird seeds. I have not received any further info on the e-books, or the other seed packets that were supposed to come along with it. HAVE NOT HEARD A WORD FROM ANYONE. I bought both offers and got 2 bags of seeds. that's it. Very dissapointedl I won't know if the seeds are any good until I plant them.

I'm not a gardener by any means. Anything I grow tends to die from neglect or too much love. But I wanted a fun thing to do with my niece and nephew for summer break. The weather has been unseasonably warm and it rained most weekends. These were rarely watered except when there was a dry spell that last more than three days. The two beds were 2" x 6". The sunlight was not that great since our neighbor's trees tend to block out the light overhead. We had a couple of extremely windy days so some of the flowers did collapsed but they are overall hardy little guys. This was grown late. I started these seeds mid-July and the pictures here were just taken now (early October). The dhalias were the last to pop out yesterday. So it took over 3 months to get most of the flowers to bloom. I am still waiting for one more flower, so I am excited to see what it is. The flowers are small. As you can see, it is mostly greenery and leafage. These are very low maintenance. Soil quality does matter. I did two beds and one was better than the other. I did not see butterflies. But I have seen moths, bees and other flying bugs. Even if you don't have a green thumb, these should be fool proof. I will definitely buy these again to try next year. Edit 10/28/23 - Fungus has overtaken my dahlias. Luckily, it does not spread to the other flowers. I didn't realize all the rain that we had was that bad. So for beginners, if you see a fungusy leaf, remove it before it spreads. Or add a fungicide to the soil.

I had many different insects in these flowers ❤️❤️. I really enjoyed it. I planted late....like... halfway through the summer and still had success growing these seeds. I saved some and will be planting a new patch in the spring. Most of my garden is native but I didn't mind these as they still fed the bee's and the butterflies. Beautiful mix and easy to grow. Would recommend. Easy even for a beginner!

I still have leftover seeds from this, I've had the seeds for nearly 2 years by now. The seeds still sprout out too, I get them sprouted out inside of my indoor grow box before I transplant them outdoors.

Seeds grew rapidly and produced tons of flowers. Would highly recommend.

The seeds were all healthy. Was able to cover about 20 Sq feet, very thick coverage, could've thinned them out more for twice the coverage. The zinnias were beautiful! The cosmos plants grew higher than the zinnias. There were a few mystery plants that grew 7-8 feet tall; even after 5 months they produced no flowers. They were the largest plants out of all. Needed a saw to cut through the stalk; too strong and big to pull out of the ground in the fall. No idea what they were. The small flowers were pretty...(orange ones flowered entire 4-5 month growing season, purple ones lived about 2 months. The 2 reasons I didn't give 5 stars...1) the crazy, huge, non-flowering, sucker giants, and 2) the milkweed seeds (I'm assuming there were some in there bc monarchs love, live & lay eggs only on milkweed). I wish the seeds came ready to germinate. Sadly, we had to move. I hope my old backyard has milkweed growing this spring. I also hope new owners won't rip them out! P.s. The bag of seeds is smaller than it looks. Price is fare. Still, I wish I was able to witness a milkweed bloom for any monarchs flying by. :(

I bought these seeds especially for the milkweed but not one single milkweed plant has grown. I got lots of other plants but I am not happy with this product. I do not recommend this product unless you want a lot of green in your garden and not many flowers.
