Hummingbird Haven
The Hummingbird Haven Flower Mix calls all hummingbirds. In mild climates, sow seed during cooler months, generally October through March. There are eighteen different varieties, each an irresistible invitation to imbibe in summer's sweet nectar. If this mix of showy, bright blooms doesn't catch their attention, they haven't arrived in your town yet. Soil must be kept moist while the seeds are germinating and beginning to grow. Some of the flower varieties included are Bee Balm, Columbine Shooting Star, Coral Bells, Godetia, Hollyhock, Nasturtium and Zinnia. Be sure to keep the weeds pulled so they do not compete with the flowers for water and sun. In cool climates plant in the spring, 1 to 2 weeks after the last average frost date. This glorious array of vivid floral color will last from spring to fall for your enjoyment as well. This mix covers approximately 14 square feet. ... additional info
