Beautiful flowers

This is my third bag it sprouts Nice and fills in year after year with BEAUTIFUL flowers I'd recommend This for bare areas boarding yards.
I let it grow in early spring then put a thin layer of all natural chips on there for boarding the house and yard,it's a GOOD buy and QUICK shipping with a reliable and knowledgeable co, a BUNCH of GREAT folks over at KIS!

Rain forest approved

Easy application and manageable quantity. It seemed like Spring 2022 was never going to arrive. Snow into April, and cool and freezing temps through early May. Sowed the Beneficial Bug Pollinator cover crop mix on both sides of the driveway down to the house, areas that receive minimal sunlight and there are already signs of sprouting. The forecast is for low 60s and sunshine so expect there may be more growth. The late Spring has left bees and other pollinators searching for food sources. Thanks for this option.

Its GREAT for our bees

The honey bees, butterfly's and beneficial insects love this mix we planted it as a border in our yard and between spraying compost teas and this mix the the neighbors have powdery mildew 10 ft away all over their hydrangeas and we dont have any in our yard or on our plants its WORTH the effort to plant this mix!
