A special flower sprung from a unique seed.
Know a wild flower seed by its look. You will find that the seeds, like the wild flowers, are diverse, yet each is distinct.
The Wild Look
Wild flower seeds look naturally shaped in irregular forms, in sizes that range from very small to very big. Each seed stands out because of its combination of special size, shape and weight.
Size
Very small blue poppy seeds look like flecks. The small daisy seeds and medium-sized geranium seeds, though more than twice the size of the poppy's seeds, appear quite modest in mass compared to the big seeds that spring the sunflower and iris.
Shape
Wild flower seed shapes tend to be irregular rounds, like tiny dried peas. But a marigold has long, thin seeds with tufts, a cone flower forms from a cone and the yellow bells fly in the air upon the seed's wings.
Weight
The Tennessee purple coneflower weighs in at 6,000 seeds per ounce. The light aster can muster only a little room, a 1-oz. package containing 25,000, though far short of the slightest wild flower seed that numbers over 1 million per ounce.
Mixture
Seeds for grasses often mix in with the wild flower seeds since the two grow well together.
