Gardeners: I was given a package of butterfly garden seeds, aka a variety of different...? ...flowers in one package. Does anyone know if these can be planted in large containers rather than directly in the garden. My sunny garden space is limited and the areas I do have available are small.

Thanks in advance.
Are my garden vegetable seeds good next year too? I just planted my first garden and didn't have room to use the entire seed packet. Should I save them and use them again next year?
