Alternative Lawn Wildflower Seed Mix

I waited until spring to seed these. They germinated very quickly and evenly, and because we've had regular rain, they seem very healthy at this time. I planted these in a slightly sloped area, in full sun, where fescue grass has been struggling in the summertime. I'm hoping that this will beautify this area.

I live in the SF bay area (zone 9b or Sunset zone 17.) I let my lawn brown out over the summer, then covered it with a few layers of newspaper. Over that, just regular garden soil. I sowed these in November 2011 and despite our dry winter and my irregular watering, I now have a beautiful wildflower meadow. I ordered 1/4 pound for an area about 800 sf and the coverage is excellent. I have two dogs who run on this regularly and it looks great (though I kept them off it till seedlings were established.) Highly recommended.

This grew hardily in a large mixed sun/shade spot; it is soft on the feet, a lovely green, and late in summer it blooms so daintily, so charmingly, it nearly takes your breath away. A delight. Will order more.

I planted the alternative lawn mix in a hard to mow area. After planting, it rained for 7 straight days. I thought the seed would wash away. After it quit raining I was gonna order some more but I walked outside and got down on my knees and seen a bunch of seedlings sprouting. After 4 days there is a noticable difference in the amount of seedlings. Still waiting for them to grow high and strong but off to a good start. Make sure u mix 10 to 1 sand to seed ratio to get optimum results. I didn't and ran a little short on seed. Definately buy this product!

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 5/8- gravel by the road side, and it is growing so fast. Planted on April 26 photo taken May 6th 2011. I planted this in front of my fence by on the shoulder of the road in the gravel. I figure that crab grass will grow in the gravel so why not plant this and make a ground cover before the crab grass has a chance to grow. It worked so far.
