Growing Tip
For more even distribution, mix the seeds with a handful of dry sand before broadcasting. Because the blend contains plants of different heights and flowering times, allow enough space for taller species such as sunflower and fennel. Leave some mature flowers in the garden so pollinators can continue feeding.
