The annual and perennial varieties contained in this mix have been gardeners' favorites for generations. These petite plants bloom profusely in masses of vibrantly colored flowers, some with lovely scents, and attract pollinators galorehoneybees, bumblebees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and beneficial insects. And there's always plenty to place in a vase.
Quintessential cottage and pollinator garden plants, these flowers are easy to grow, low maintenance, and adaptable. Generally growing no more than 16 inches tall at maturity, they make nice edging or fronting for leggy plants in beds but also beautify naturalized areas, stabilize slopes, and fill in uneven ground. And they work perfectly in containers and even flower boxes.
