Lots of black eyed Susans

"I planted these seeds about 1 1/2 years ago. Last summer I had many black eyed Susan's and this summer I have even more! But I don't have any purple cone flowers, not even one. I love the bright colorful black eyed Susan's but I'm disappointed that no cone flowers have emerged. Also, the deer love to eat my black eyed Susan's so it's a constant battle. I have used a lot of Liquid Fence. I even bought a fake coyote which helped for a little while until the deer figured it out."

I bought this 2 years ago

"Black Eyed Susan came up great, but purple coneflowers didn't bloom."

— CJ (3/5)

1 Flower Bloomed

"I had high hopes for this Black Eyed Susan & Purple Coneflower Seed Combo, but the results were far from what I expected. Despite sowing many seeds, I ended up with just a single flower blooming in my garden. Talk about underwhelming! I was looking forward to a vibrant display of yellow and purple flowers, but instead, I got a garden that looks almost as bare as it did before planting. The lone flower that did show up looks rather sad and out of place all by itself."

— MQ (1/5)

Best perrenials combo!

"We planted in the village wildflower meadows. 1st season blooms! Usually takes a couple of years to get the blooms but these seeds too off! #sweepstakes"

— ButterfliesRus (5/5)

Good Combo

"The two flowers grew well and look very good together, however the Black Eyed Susan grew much quicker and eventually took over completely toward the end of summer. I did mix the seeds together before spreading so they had to compete with each other, probably best planted near but separate from each other to give the coneflower a better chance."

— CPVT (4/5)

Great mix

"This is a fantastic mix for our area. Fool proof. Came up great despite failure of other mixes. The deer don't like them."

— Camsmom (5/5)
