LOVE it.

"I mixed in some Cosmos into this wildflower seed mixture. I made sure the dry stretches of what seemed to be useless soil was prepped (devoid of any extra weeds) - scattered this mix in mid June (zone 6b) and the area is absolutely filled with candy tuft, dill weed, allyssum, and curry hued Cosmos. I'm thrilled."

— Shark S. (5/5)

No!

"I bought 3 different types: Beneficial Bug, Deer Resistant, and Partial Shade wildflower mixes from AM. I had a few (very few) good flowers come up, but LOTS of Black Eyed Susans and Indian Paintbrush. This crowded out all of the good perennial wildflowers from another company that I had planted last year. I am having to pull up those obnoxious plants just to allow my perennials from last year to survive. So disappointed!"

Will recommend.

"This has help to fill in large areas. The colors are so nice to look at while sitting out. They move with the breeze."

— Virgie (5/5)

I would buy this product again for certain

"I've been happy with all the seeds I have ordered from American Meadows over the last 2 years. I have and will continue to highly recommend American Meadow Seeds"

Grow a little WILD in your backyard! :)

"I just LOVE these wildflowers! I planted these and other American Meadow seeds such as sunflower mix, southeast mix, pollinator mix, blanket flower seeds, cosmos seeds and elephant ears in our bird island area to add cover and make it safer for our wild birds and other wild creatures. With bird feeders in our area, we also have hawks around so we want our birds to feel safe from them. The birds love our area and I can tell they feel much safer with the addition of the wildflowers, sunflowers and all the other plants from American Meadows. We have seen baby rabbits and baby skunks and opossums in our area also. With the hot Summer this year, we have added several ground bird baths . . . tucked here and there and even a water fountain to our area so the birds and wild creatures that visit us at night have access to the precious water they need to survive. For an added depth of enjoyment to our area, we got a game cam this year that video tapes our wild visitors with sound. We have video taped visits from fox, coyote, rabbits, skunks and opossum. We have purchased American Meadows' seeds and bulbs before and have had excellent results. This Fall, I will be planting tulip and allium bulbs from American Meadows in our bird island area for Spring beauty and next year, we will be adding even more wild flower seeds to this area. . . . we are going to fill it up! :) Thank you American Meadows for offering us such wonderful seeds and bulbs and plants to pick from! We love them all! :)"

The name says it all, attracts many beneficial insects!

"Planted this in a 50 x 4 foot area in an enclosed garden. It is so beautiful and attracts many beneficial insects! 🌼"

— Aurora (5/5)

The only "pesticide" I use is Beneficial Bug Seed Mix!

"I mix Beneficial Bug Mix with all of my other wildflower seed mixtures to keep my gardens as free as possible from non-beneficial bugs. The only "pesticide" I use is Beneficial Bug Wildflower Seed Mix!"

— Mary (5/5)

Quick and healthy color!

"I use Beneficial Bug Mix as a natural insecticide around my perennial plants and add it to all of my other mixes for the same reason. It sprouts and blooms on the "fast side" of other mixes I've planted, and it's colorful and hardy."

— M. (5/5)

Beneficial bug mix beneficial

"I planted some of the seeds in pots but over sowed them so only the cosmos grew. The seeds sowed in a broader area grew well with lots of pretty surprises. Especially liked the herbs, dill and cilantro in the mix. Still enjoying new flowers blooming daily and seeing the insects drawn to the flowers."

— NN (4/5)

Even I got them to grow!!!

"I planted these seeds in 3 areas that I have had trouble filling in with "useful" plants. These started right away and I have been picking beautiful bouquets for my table all summer. They are still producing now and it is late October. . very hardy. . i'll be anxious to see how they come back in year #2. Year #1 gets an A+ grade from me. My wife complained that they came in too full!!! Can you fix that?. . :)"
