Mexican Hat produces an unusual flower with contrasting two-toned leaves. Quite variable in expression, sometimes petals are mostly yellow, others more deep burgundy. Prolific bloomer the first year and perennial in the southern extent of its range. Pollinators love Mexican Hats, so they are a good coice for pollinator gardens.

A note about seed balls:
Seed balls, also known as seed bombs, protect the seeds from erosion, foraging, and many other factors. This protective property often results in a slower germination cycle. Wildflowers are also highly variable in their germination rates. Please be patient with your seed balls. If you placed them in a suitable location, soil, and climate, when the seeds are ready, they will grow!

OUR PROMISE We guarantee your satisfaction and will provide a full refund or replace your seed balls if your are not satisfied. Just contact us with your questions and we will work out a solution! We want your seed balls to grow!
