That depends upon you! What are you looking for? I plant mostly for the birds, so I buy bags of the White Stripped Bird Seed, Sunflower seeds & simply scatter them into the bed, then cover them with MiracleGro for flowers. At other times I planted fancy colors & different heights, which were "nice," but really it didn't make a big difference to me when all was said & done so back I went to the Bird Seed.
