HOW TO GROW
Sowing: Direct sow in early spring, pressing lightly into the surface of the soil since this seed needs light to germinate. Keep the soil lightly moist until germination, which should occur within 10-20 days. When the seedlings can safely be handled, thin or transplant for wider spacing. For an early start, start the Nemophila Menziesii seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost and transplant outdoors.
Growing: Keep the young plants watered until they become established; mature plants tolerate drought well, though they will benefit from occasional watering. This annual grows quickly and dies with the first frost, though it may reseed for a new crop next year. Its neat, sprawling growth habit makes it an excellent choice for massed plantings, containers, and borders. Keep in mind that this plant does not do well in excessive heat and dislikes being transplanted. These blooms attract butterflies and bees.
Harvesting: These short-lived blossoms do not make good cut flowers, and are best enjoyed in the wild.
Seed Saving: After the flowers fade, small pods will form that eventually open at the top to reveal the ripe seeds. Gather the baby blue eyes seeds as soon as the pods have opened; watch them carefully to prevent loss. Store the Nemophila Menziesii seeds in a cool, dry place.

Baby Blue Eyes Seeds
I really like the packaging of your product but the product in my opinion is a bit expensive. I have found the same flower seeds from a different company that is half of what your company charges. Thanks for the order but I will be ordering from a different company next time. Maybe if your offered a seed packet of regular size instead of XL, they would be less expensive.

I am sharing the seeds with my brother and sister. There is a walking trail behind my brother's house. He's planting them along his property edge by the trail, He thinks the Baby Blue eyes are gorgeous.

This was a very generous packet of seeds and I'm starting them in the late summer for fall planting. The seeds germinated very quickly and I'm excited to include these in my California native wildflower garden.

New Seeds
Since I don't know how the seeds will produce, I can comment on the shipment and pricing: I received my seed packets in a very short period of time and the price I paid was very reasonable. I was impressed with the packets the seeds came in - not paper, so very moisture resistant. Have all ready to be planted tomorrow.....have been waiting for the correct plant sign...... .will let you know how all turns out.....am glad I found your site, though as it matters to start with good quality seeds.

Great for spring pollinators
I started these indoors from seed in late winter 2014 and they bees just loved these in the early spring garden. They were dancing around these early summer when not much else was blooming!
