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.

Quality product
Very excited to receive these seeds. I bought a few different varieties so that I could follow the growth cycle of each type. The seeds are mixed with coconut coir, which acts as a mulch to help retain moisture, so when sowing the seeds it is important to be close to the soil so the seeds and coir do not blow away.If you follow the directions on the package you will not have any issues.Living in the Midwest, I waited until the third week of April to start the process to ensure the last frost had passed. It is now the first week of May and sprouts are coming up all over the place!I wish I had made a timeline montage to share but did not think of that at the time; I was too anxious to get the process started.I highly recommend this product!

Great amount and diversity and easy to use.
These came right away. Filled with a great variety of color and quality of seeds. Most of the seeds are supposed to have a quick germination rate. I just scattered them on the ground and in wet spots of a very large area. I don't know if there will be any plant death, I hope not.

Only one kind blooms, but they grow fast
I planted some as directed, and others I just shook loosely throughout my yard and garden. In both cases, only these tiny purple flowers bloomed, no others. But they did, regardless of where/how I put the seeds. The bag is almost entirely filler/dust/dirt.Planted in upstate NY in late March; pic taken in late April.

Huge Bag, Great Quality and Vibrant Colors!
I have an open area in my backyard and have not known what you plant. I saw this amazing seed bag and wanted to give it a try. I know it is made out of high quality being familiar with the company. I love the plant variety, color and amount of seeds cover a huge area. I cant wait for the seeds to start blooming!! The price here on amazon was the best I found in all the stores I looked. I highly recommend this variety bag for anyone looking to add a little pop to your garden.

Lovely
Three out of Five Stars – A Slow But Promising StartI had high hopes for the Burpee Fast Blooming Wildflower Mix—25,000 seeds sounded like a veritable floral explosion was imminent. And while the packaging was cheerful enough to make a bumblebee weep with joy, my little garden patch is currently more “mystery salad” than “English meadow.”The good news: something is indeed growing! Lots of green shoots have popped up, and the mix seems to germinate well—even in less-than-perfect soil. It’s lush and leafy, and the nasturtiums have clearly taken to the place like it’s a spa retreat.However, the “fast blooming” part feels a bit optimistic. Weeks in, and we’ve got leaves aplenty but nary a bloom in sight. I’m choosing to believe they’re just fashionably late and will strut their stuff any day now. Until then, it’s a bit of a leafy waiting game.Bottom line: it’s a decent product, especially if you’re patient and have an adventurous spirit. Just be prepared for a bit more “growing suspense” and a little less “instant botanical gratification.”

Cut flowers thriving in Florida zone 10a spring
I planted one full pack of the cut flowers seeds in a raised bed with irrigation and it has been producing really nice flowers for over a month. Enough to cut a full vase every day and once cut the flowers last a week easily.

Sprout fast and provide pretty blooms
Not seeing a lot of variety in the seeds that I’ve planted so far. I can only distinguish a few types of blooms. However, I’m still pleased!
