I just put a rather large seed order in with Diane. I wrote to her late last night and asked for her opinion on the seeds I had chosen. She got back to me and said everything looked great. She was also nice enough to share the link to her favorite bulk wildflower seller, which I appreciated! She's such a nice person! I'm sure I'll be buying some bulk seed too, since I have a huge area to cover. It's a lot cheaper that way, as well.
Check out the site for the bulk seeds. It's a great site, and I think the prices are really good!

She recommended a second site too, but I can't get it to load. I'll try again later.

Susan, I had lots of dead nettle in Utah, and I adored it, but left it behind because the ones that I had needed a bit of shade to look their best. I never noticed them reseeding, but they did spread. However, it never spread bad enough that I considered it invasive, and it was very easy to pull. I had purple, pink and white flowers, but they weren't the same one that was in the link that you posted. I also had a yellow one that was horribly invasive, tough as nails, and tried to take over everything in the yard! I spent the last few years hacking away at it by hand and with the lawn mower, and never got it completely removed. Can't remember the name of the yellow one. I had no idea that you could eat it!
My next plan, with the seeds I purchased today, is to start a lot of them in containers, and then transplant them. I think that way I may have better luck at getting things rolling!
