    Customer Reviews

    Overall rating: 5.0 / 5 from 1 reviews.

    Some of these were mixed into a wildflower collection (I think it was the Deer-resistant mix) we bought from Eden Brothers. We live in Kansas where, last year, it was almost always above 100F in the summer and rarely rained after June, and these flowers were by far the longest-lasting plants in the wildflower mix (lightly watered 3x a week). They produce seeds like you wouldn't believe, so we have more to go for this year. We couldn't believe how different each flower was from the others. Thanks!
