Tortoise mix

This is the 3rd time I've purchased this mix and have carefully planted it and watered it and NOTHING EVER grew! So disappointed because I have been trying to get some kind of native plants in the tortoise yard.

Good results!

I follow the (thankfully) enclosed instructions to the letter, and have had very good growth from these seeds. No complaints from my desert tortoise.

Not a single germinated seed

I planted the entire seed packet over two plots in mid to late October. Not a single seed germinated. Normally I would attribute this to user error, but I had a third plot planted under identical conditions with a different seed packet. The third plot with the different seeds is flourishing. I thought I had two seeds germinate from the desert tortoises mix, but they turned out to be volunteer palo verde plants. I saw other reviews for this seed packet with the same complaints and thought they were just a fluke. They weren’t. I do not suggest purchasing the Desert Tortoise mix.
