Deborah C on Jan 15, 2012Love - in - a - Mist, Nigella. I love the way they look, very fine foliage, the flower is a bit unusual, and the seed pod is fantastic.I sowed a few seeds about seven years ago, and they have been cropping up every where. I love them, but my guy refers to them as weeds. I just pull them up where I don't want them-easy.Helpful Reply

Sheryll S on Feb 07, 2012Kathy Y, you are right about Four O'Clocks... I adore them and ANY one can grow them. I dug up some to take to a co worker that had bought a house and said she killed everything. I did not want her to have to wait for seeds.. and a week or so later she said she had killed them and I said no you did not and next time I saw her she was over joyed to have them blooming and alive still.Helpful Reply

Artist In The Garden on Feb 22, 2015Wildflowers. Wildseed Farms in Texas has great quality seed. Very helpful growing tips in their catalog. The California Poppies Eschscholzia californica- seem to get the most favorable comments. These reseed reliably. Every cultivar of this plant is bright and cheerful. Just one heavy pruning is necessary in the summer.Helpful Reply
