| Baby Blue Eyes |
Nemophila mentziesii
The gorgeous sky blue of forget-me-nots, but with flowers five to ten times as big, no mildew problems, and flowers the first year fom seed. Quick spring bloomer, very easy to grow; just scatter seed in place if desired, or start in flats for transplanting to vegetable beds, hanging baskets, pots. Low-growing plants make a spectacular carpet under tall shrubs, around bulbs, cascading down walls. Shear back for rebloom, or interplant with a heat-lover for later (like marigolds). Great results with little effort. 500 seeds. |

Balloon-like pods which follow are loved by children for popping, and by flower arrangers as an everlasting. Easily grown on most well-drained soils. Prefers cool weather. Tuck in a few with the peas and lettuce. |

| Water Saving Mix, West |
| 45-90 days. In large areas of our country, water is being depleted faster than it can be replaced. These flower mixes are designed to provide gorgeous swathes of color, draw beneficial insects, restore native plant/pollinator webs, and use little or no irrigation.

| Beneficial Insect Mix |
| Beneficial insect attractant flowers especially chosen to provide homes and nectar for the tiny insects that prey on vegetable pests. Recommended for use as a border around the garden or between beds. Works best if it’s planted a few weeks before the rest of the garden in a weed-free, prepared bed; first blossoms will appear in 45-90 days. Many of the flowers are perennials which will bloom year after year.
