A while back, I posted this hillside asking what to do. It was old mulch and a few weeds before and someone suggested a native wildflower mix. I am so glad I listened because it is beautiful! I’m loving the bees and the butterflies. The deer have been eating the sunflowers before they can flower, but I don’t mind lol.

It’s beautiful! It looks like a lots of cosmos, which are native to Mexico. They are not invasive and will die each winter. I grow a lot of cosmos since they’re so beautiful and grow so easily! But be cautious when grabbing any wildflower mix because it may contain invasive seeds that could be an issue
