If the box has any listing of the plants in the mix, that would be a great thing to include as a comment ... if it isn't hugely too long to type in. After planting a mix, and getting some survivors, I like being able to guess what each plant is. If the mix lists a variety that I guessed, that was probably the right guess.

That's how I found out that Alyssum does very well in my climate, even growing happily out of cracks in a concrete sidewalk and reseeding from there. They were the only ones that really thrived from a mix I planted, and then they came back the next year.
