Cherry Queen Zinnia and Persian Carpet Zinnia
First up in our wildflower mix are the Zinnias. We planted both Cherry Queen Zinnia and Persian Carpet Zinnia. These vibrant flowers are a must-have for any wildflower garden.
Velvet Queen Sunflower and Mongolian Giant Sunflower
Next up, we have the sunflowers. We chose the Velvet Queen Sunflower and the towering Mongolian Giant Sunflower. These sunny beauties are sure to make a statement in any garden.
Tall Blue Bachelor Button, Cosmos Sea Shells Mix, and California Giants Mix Zinnia
Rounding off our wildflower mix, we have the Tall Blue Bachelor Button, the Cosmos Sea Shells Mix, and the California Giants Mix Zinnia. These unique wildflowers add a touch of whimsy and a splash of color to our garden.
P.S. from Shawn:
“Just in case the sunflowers don’t pop up, I threw in some corn seeds in one of the rows. I figured, why not add a bit of surprise to the garden? Stay tuned to see how it turns out!”
And there you have it, friends! Our wildflower garden is bursting with potential, and we can’t wait to see these seeds sprout and bloom. Until next time, keep those thumbs green!
