Other 196's:
If you can you might try and find a local native mix, or if you have the time, right now is about when you would go collect seed for the spring annuals in the n. hemisphere. Neither of those are native to your area and there are animals dependent on native species going hungry.
This.
At first glance I was convinced that these were either coffee beans or popcorn
When buying these kind of seeds pay attention to labels saying whether they're annual, perennial or multi season etc.
Both are fine, but just to avoid the disappointment of thinking your project failed when the flowers don't come again the following year.
Annual flowers are usually a lot cheaper, so you can easily reseeed every year until you have established a more self sustainable garden.
If you have a large enough area, the wild flowers should reseed themselves.
They reseed themselves in the wild. They’re wildflowers.
Yes but not as many as the first year.
If annuals are in an appropriate / native habitat, invasive species aren’t making life hard for them, and they have the right amount of space, they should not decline in population year over year. If they did, they’d be extinct in the wild.
Well, if you need to buy these seed in the first place, then you're probably not in an environment where they'd usually grow. It takes time. At least more than one season to get it going.
My local municipality planted local wild annual seeds all over the city two years ago. It made a nice news article, but the flowers are all gone by now because they didn't re-seed.
Yeah, it could take awhile to reestablish a native habitat that has been messed up by people or invasive species, but if conditions are right, annual wild flower populations should grow or at least sustain year over year.
If the annual wild flowers couldn’t do that naturally, there would be no such thing as annual wild flowers.
Unless you are wildly out of their preferred environment, not really.
which one did you get?
Both!
I thought these were like a sunflower seed snack alternative and was curious about hummingbird flavor.
