They're sending out either Black-Eyed Susans or Rocky Mountain Bee Plant. Both are short-lived but very prolific self-seeding natives that bees and butterflies love. Do be careful planting if you don't have a lot of space though because these will spread. And keep in mind that these seeds will require cold stratification. I've never tried it using the fridge but I winter sowed Black-Eyed Susans this past winter and got a really good germination rate. Very easy.

I always want plants that spread on their own. I've never been good at the cold stratification either, but I'll give it a shot.

It's pretty easy. I just cut some holes on top and at the bottom in some cheapo translucent temu storage boxes, add potting soil, plant seeds, put outside and left it alone until spring. If your household drinks milk, you can use milk jugs for it too.

yep, that's the point - feed the insects that make sure plants can go to seed. the problem is that if you're lazy and dump these seeds on the ground, you'll need a lot more than one packet to get many plants.

I bought this last fall: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004J67EGY?th=1

I sowed about a quarter of the bag in a 200 square foot area, along with some other seeds. I got about 15 black eyed susans

Butterflies don't lay their eggs on these plants. They go for others with softer, tastier tissue. Black eyed Susan's are tough.
