Love it

We purchased this for use in our organic garden. There were two ways of seeding, direct sow and broadcast. We had no success with the broadast but with the direct sow, we received really beautiful results. We have seen misc. butteflies, soldier beetles, various bees, hoverflys and others. I would recommend.

I planted this last summer in my garden and was quite happy with the results. I was especially happy with the orange poppies, babies breath and cilantro. I have purchased again for this summer.

I bought this mix because I want to attract beneficial insects to my veggie garden. I didn't mix with seed, but sprinkled the seed onto prepared ground and raked in. I ended up with a thick bed of wildflowers. The other review mentions being mostly cilantro. I think he got a bad batch because while I had some cilantro, it was nowhere near the majority. I got the large package so have a lot left, but I would buy this again. I just would follow the instructions and broadcast it mixed with sand, my bed was just too dense.
