Maybe next time, you can plant the decorative stuff in a separate patch?

p.s. I didn't need all of the seeds I bought from gurneys.  With the 
left-over seeds, should I keep them sealed in their paper envelopes or should 
I pour them into something like used prescription bottles (that is about the 
most airtight , yet simple and free, idea I can imagine)
