Frequently Asked Questions...
Which flower seed for favors?
Im going to make my own wedding favors - flower seed packaged in tiny plastic packets, set inside a pretty card with a thank you note from myself and my groom. Im buying bulk seeds, but wanted to know if anyone has any idea as to what sort of flowers I should be buying. Most sites use bulk wildflower seeds, but I also found pretty reasonable prices for sweetpea seeds and poppy flower seeds and a really cute flower called a teddy bear sunflower. Not sure how to choose ... I could just buy different varieties but I was trying to aim for keeping it simple with just one type of seed.
Any ideas girls [and guys]?
Answer:
We used Shasta daisies in our wedding favors.
Can I make a quick suggestion? Don't put the card inside the seed packet. Chances are, when your guests open the packet to read the card, they're going to spill the seeds everywhere!
We used a dab of hot glue to attach a card to the seed envelope. The card had printed directions for sowing the seeds and all of the information needed to successfully grow them (full sun, good drainage). We hand stamped each card with our initals in our wedding colors.
We bought our seeds from Shallow Tail Garden. Quick delivery and the seeds were carefully packaged!

EDIT: Oh! After reading the other responses, I have to add this:
I’m an avid gardener. While Forget-Me-Not’s are beautiful, they spread like weeds. They are almost impossible to keep under control and it doesn’t take long before they take over your garden. Please, think very carefully before deciding to use those seeds.
I’ve been trying to get Forget-Me-Not’s out of my garden for nearly three years now!
