Wildflower seeds included in the cards:  

Snapdragon:
Snapdragons are a particular favorite of children who like to pinch the tiny individual blossoms and make the "dragon mouth" open and close. Their large, blossom-laden flower heads are faintly fragrant and come in in a wide assortment of bright colors. The vertical flower spikes, opening gradually from the bottom to the top, are available in two heights: dwarf varieties grow to about 10 inches while the taller types grow to a height of 18-24 inches.  A single snapdragon plant may produce seven or eight blossom spikes in the course of a summer.  Snapdragons make excellent cutflowers and excel in beds and at the front of borders.

Black-eyed susan:
Native to North America, Black Eyed Susan are prolific wildflowers that have become popular in the home flower garden. It is also called Gloriosa Daisy with yellow, orange, and gold colors. It is very easy to grow perennial, requiring little attention to produce colorful blooms.  Almost everyone knows this American wildflower, and it has all the lovely, warm color, daisy shape, easy to grow in any sunny place, needs little attention, great for bouquets or vases.  Black Eyed Susan are grown from seed. If started early in the spring, you may get blooms the first year. Black Eyed Susan seeds can be directly seeded into your flower garden as soon as the soil can be worked in the spring or later in the summer or fall for flowers next year. 
Black Eyed Susan plants grow 2-3 feet tall on long stems.  Black Eyed Susan are very easy to grow. They like full sun. They will do well in average soils and even poor soils. They also tolerate dry soil conditions. While you do not need to water or fertilize Black Eyed Susan, a little care will be rewarded with more blooms.

White Yarrow:
White Yarrow is easy to grow and does well in most any soil. Once established it is very drought tolerant, and it is also very cold tolerant. It performs as a lawn substitute or groundcover, even in sandy soils where some groundcovers refuse to thrive. The attractive foliage emerges in the spring, and you can expect blooms in summer.

Evening Primrose:
Evening Primrose is a North American native biennial plant.  The plants are very tall, often 4 to 5 feet or more in height. The stem is erect, stout, soft-hairy, reddish and branching forming a shrub. Leaves are alternate, rough-hairy, lanceolate, about 3 to 6 inches long and lemon-scented. The taproot is elongated, fibrous, yellow on the outside and whitish within. The flower spikes grow on auxiliary branches all along the stalk. They are about 2-1/2 inched in diameter, bright yellow and have four petals, a cross shaped stigma and a refluxed calyx (leaves under petals). The flowers open in the evening and close up during the day and are strongly scented with a delicious sweet perfume which attracts pollinating moths. The fruit is an oblong 1 in. capsule containing many tiny reddish seeds.


Virginia Stock:
The Virginia Stock, 'Malcolmia maritima', has dainty, sweetly fragrant flowers. Virginia Stocks produce a profusion of simple, 4-petaled flowers in a harmonized blend of pink, white, reddish, and lavender shades. It is perfect for scattering into paving crevices, nooks and crannies, in rock walls, for the front of the flower border, or to provide cover for the bulb foliage once bulb blooms are gone. It will bloom 4 to 6 weeks after sowing. The 3/4 inch wide flowers are produced in loose clusters.  The Virginia Stock will perform in any soil, but does best in rich fertile soil. Plant it in full sun or light shade for best results.
