Hi,

Live outside of Boston.

About a month and a half ago I bought a package of "wildflower"
seeds. A very good, well known, brand, but I don't remember which.
Also, some top of the line potting soil.

Planted them in one of those long rectangular planters, with the
drain holes in the bottom.

Well watered, and outside in plenty of sun. No flowers !

So, any opinions on why no flowers ?

Plenty of green stalks; looks like a jungle.

Could it be we used too many seeds ?
Should it be thinned out, or are other possibilities more likely ?

Any thoughts or opinions would be most appreciated.

Thanks,
Bob

Maybe planted too deep. Depth of seed is supposed to be 1 1/2 the
diameter of the seed.

This seems rather unlikely, it might alter the germination rate but once you
had a jungle of stalks the germination conditions become irrelevant.

If the plants look healthy and they get plenty of sun I would say give them
more time. Six weeks from seed planting is pretty optimistic, if the soil
was cool it could have taken 2-3 weeks to germinate. Of course it would
help to know what they are.
