Spring Flowers

The California Poppy graces many a sun-drenched meadow throughout California and the Southwest with its brilliant orange, saucer-shaped flowers. On bright days, the poppy’s silky petals open to greet the sun. At dusk, the golden blooms close into tightly fluted repose.

These beauties can be grown anywhere. In areas with hard freezes, they are annuals; in temperate regions, perennials. Wherever they are grown, they are sure to bring a splash of sunshine from the Golden State!

Sunflowers are delightful and versatile. They grow quickly and give a brilliant splash of color in a remarkably short time. Few things evoke the beauty and brightness of summertime better than these sunny giants!

This super fun Grow Kit gives you everything you need to plant a whole patch of very large, impressive sunflowers, plus creative planting ideas and even a recipe for roasting the delicious seeds they produce.

The otherworldly Joshua Tree, Yucca brevifolia, is a critically threatened icon of the Mojave Desert ecosystem and arguably the most well-known, imposing, and spectacular of all Yuccas — a group that includes upwards of 40 different species of plants, all with thick, fleshy tissues adapted to store water. Jonsteen's 100% guaranteed grow kit provides everything needed to grow one of these iconic desert trees from seed.

The seeds of Shasta Daisies are small, but mighty! There is enough seed in this grow kit to cover an area of roughly 500 square feet with an explosion of beautiful blooms (that’s an area larger than 20 feet long by 20 feet wide).

There are approximately 1,600 individual seeds here, and most will germinate if the conditions are right. Each successful seed will produce a tidy clump of dark green foliage approximately a foot across with bright flowers shooting skyward on sturdy stems 2 – 3 feet tall. There is no need to plant all your daisies in one plot unless you want an impressive field of pure flowers.

You can also orchestrate clumps of these beauties here and there by planting accents strategically around your yard or property. Or, put them into pots, planter boxes, or other containers for a burst of brightness on your patio, porch, or front steps. Choose where you plant carefully, because, if the Shasta Daisies are happy where you are, they may re-seed themselves year after year.

Nearly 75% of all flowering plants on Earth rely on pollinators to reproduce, and close to half of all foods in the human diet are made possible only through the vital efforts of bumble bees, honey bees, butterflies, beetles, and other hard-working pollinators.

Night and day, through millions of flower-to-flower flights among thousands of plant and tree species across the globe, pollinators make a monumental impact on the planet and human life. The best way to support the essential work of these unsung heroes of the food chain is to provide nourishing flowers and welcoming habitat in our yards and gardens.

The wildflower species included in this grow kit are specifically selected to support, sustain, and delight the pollinators in your yard, garden, and community. This kit includes detailed growing tips, flower descriptions, and enough seed to plant a beautiful habitat for a wide variety of flashy pollinators.
