What type of flower would be a good wedding favor?

I am thinking of doing a wedding favor with mini pails, soil and planted seeds that our guests can replant. Does anyone have a suggestion on what kind of flower seeds would be appropriate to put in a small pail then be replanted?

Lots of people just do an easy wild flower packet... cheap and they grow easy. Some nice weddings I have gone to I actually got a bulb- tulip... very nice... But it really depends on when your getting married because you want the seed or plant to be plant-able that month!!!
Reply:A friend of mine is giving away little Hens %26amp; Chicks pots. They are small, cute and super easy to grow. It is really hard to kill for some of your guest with no green thumb!
Reply:Any type of lily....
Reply:Don't include soil - put spanish moss or excelsior in the pail, then include a packet of seeds, forget-me-nots for example, with your names and the wedding date on them.
Reply:I think bulbs are a good idea. I, too, would skip the soil and opt for a moss of some sort. Get a bulb that will bloom around the time of your wedding. When it sprouts each year people will remember you. It might be nice also to tie it thru to the flowers in the wedding....





Congrats %26amp; good luck!

Reply:My advice would be to PLEASE skip the soil-- very messy! Just offer a tiny terracotta flowerpot (I have seen them in stores for like a quarter) and a packet (or a few packets) of seeds. Or even just the seed packets alone, tied with ribbon.





Any wildflower mix would be good, or black eyed susans or marigolds-- consider finding flowers that match your wedding colors.
Reply:Something easy to grow.Ask at the garden store
Reply:i think your idea is terrific, however instead of seeds why not give each guest a bulb? the flower will come back year after year and a great many of them will naturalize.........leaving your guests with a beautiful spot in their garden that every time it comes alive with blooms they will think of you.


seeds require a little more effort and because of that they are more apt to be put away and forgotten whereas a bulb can easily be popped into their garden and nature will take care of the rest.


suggestions: crocus


lilies of the valley


snowdrops


miniature tulips


daffodils


hyacinths


good luck and happy marriage!
Reply:Depending on the season of your wedding, for winter, I would suggest pansies. They hold up really well. For spring, phlox, for the same reason. For summer, lobelia. They bloom in the summer and bloom profusely, but you have to plant the seeds early in advance if you want them blooming already. Marigolds and geraniums are easy to grow and they hold up well. Plus, marigolds keep bugs away. I suppose it also depends on the color of flower you want. petunias come in a variety of colors. Good luck, congratulations, and I hope that helped!
Reply:You could ask your local nursery or flower shop for ideas, they would know what would work well for you. I recently attended a wedding that gave out beautiful African violets in bloom. Good luck and God Bless your marriage.
Reply:A friend of mine did mini rose bushes that were slighlty budded, then when u replant them they grow bigger and are beutiful, plus they some in different shades.
Reply:I've seen this done with African Violets that were already growing and can easily be replanted. They're kind of hard to kill even by those of us completely lacking a green thumb.
