The term “wildflower” has become a garbage term similar to “natural”. Gotta look for something native to your area which is likely to come from an online native plant nursery.

Wildflower is so greenwashing now. People just want flowers and companies don’t care if they are actually native.

Listen, I just want to high five OP. You took the time to check the contents instead of just buying whatever was on sale and living with regret.
It’s an unfortunate situation where we’re being swindled right and left because making money is more important than ethics, care or consideration.

So you can drink lots of mojitos and squint and imagine those flowers are native.

Because it just says “wildflower” not “native wildflower”. These seed companies love to use cornflower as a filler too

These mixes are the biggest scam!

Go research the native species in your area always… usually your *local* garden center or nursery (not Home Depot) will have a section that says natives

I really like watching the sweat bees and these small blue dragonflies go crazy on the mint flowers

The flowers are there as food for the mint when the mint takes over and takes nutrients from the floral corpses.

My dad bought a wildflower mix that contained “dock”. I was cursing as I was pulling dock from what looked like a primarily bed of now dock
