Everwilde Farms - 1000 Ballerina Mixed California Poppy Garden Flower Seeds - Gold Vault Jumbo Bulk Seed Packet

These little darlings sprouted very quickly. I was rather concerned as the soil in this area is just horrible - being a mix of old Juniper tree bark, Styrofoam left from discarded plants and just generally very poor soil. I'm not an experienced gardener, so I didn't follow the directions on how to distribute the seeds. This is my very first attempt at planting a flower bed! By the time I was only half way around the circle, I was out of seeds, so I very softly dragged the top soil around a few times trying to even up the distribution. If I'd followed directions, I'm sure the seedlings would be better distributed, but I really couldn't be happier with the results. Another first time gardener mistake was planting these directly under a fruit bearing avocado tree - so it's quite a balancing act picking the fruit while avoiding the flower bed! Bottom line: I'd highly recommend this brand to anyone, whether you're an experienced gardener or just starting out! The pictures were taken about a month apart.
