      We have a large wildflower garden in CO. This is a great mix for lots of different flowers and different colors. We've been buying it for several years. We have a corner lot and people stop and compliment us on the lovely flowers. All you need is some water and sun and the seeds will grow!

        Comments about American Meadows West Wildflower Seed Mix:

        I bought several wildflower mixes (including this one) to choke out the tumble weed and goat-heads that had taken over my garden area last few years. They are doing a great job and re-seeding, which is fantastic. I really like the look of the wildflowers so I'll be devoting an area to them once the garden gets going.

            Germinated in a matter of only a few days! I have never seen any seed or seed mix start to grow so fast. Our weather has been mid 50'2 day and low 40's at night (Pacific North West) and I planted this in sandy & organic ground, and it is growing so fast. Planted on April 26 photo taken May 6th 2011. I planted this in the places that my dogs run in to help cover the ground and give them a nice place to visit.

            Last year I purchased some wildflower seeds from a different company. I put down very good soil, planted them the way decribed on the packet and watered. Three weeks later - nothing, not one plant. I found your company, ordered the seed, planted, watered and beautiful flowers came up in about 8 days. They lasted all summer even in our dry climate. Thank you for a product you can purchase and it performs like you say it will.

              Perfect! What could be easier - loosen the soil a little, spread the seeds. No need to cover, and since I did it right before a rain, no need to water. I used just a half pound this year, but I'm coming back for a few pounds next year. These will be great for wildflower photography on the wild fields right outside my door!
