Field of Dreams Flower Mixed Seeds for Planting - Pollinator Mix

Our review of the Field of Dreams Flower Mixed Seeds finds this 1 lb bulk mix best suited to gardeners who want an easy, economical way to add continuous seasonal color and attract pollinators. The single biggest reason to buy is its combination of very high seed count and strong germination claims, which translate into extensive coverage - up to about 1,200 sq ft - from a single bag when planted correctly. It is a practical choice for yards, meadows, or larger beds where low-maintenance, animal-resistant annuals are preferred.

Key Features

• 100% Pure, Non-GMO: The seeds are sold without fillers so gardeners get only the included varieties for predictable results and fewer surprises when seedlings emerge.
• High Germination: Eden Brothers reports germination rates above industry standards, which gives faster and more reliable stands of flowers when seeded per instructions.
• Pollinator Attraction: The mix includes species selected to draw bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, helping increase pollination in home gardens and nearby plants.
• Large Coverage: One pound contains over 480,000 seeds and can cover roughly 1,200 sq ft, making it cost-effective for meadows, fields, or large borders.
• Hardy in Zones 3-10: All included varieties are annuals suited to a wide range of USDA hardiness zones and tolerate common outdoor stresses like drought and disease.
• Easy to Grow Varieties: The mix highlights three easy-to-grow species, including German chamomile and dwarf blue cornflower, which perform well in full sun.

Who It's For

This mix is ideal for home gardeners, community garden plots, and property owners who want low-effort, high-impact color and to support local pollinators. It works well for planting in spring or fall in sunny, well-drained areas and for covering larger spaces without buying many individual packets.

It may be less appropriate for people who need large single-species displays, want only large showy blooms, or who prefer perennials; some flowers in the mix are small and the variety means individual bloom sizes and shapes will vary.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Excellent seed count and value per lb for covering wide areas.
• Reported high germination and quick emergence when sown correctly.
• Attracts pollinators and supports biodiversity in the yard.
• Bulky, practical for meadow restoration or mass planting projects.

Cons
