Off topic....I know seed mixes are regional at the big box store. Getting spring fever here so browsing the aisles.
The same -blend- name in what appears similar date batches (maybe off by 2 months), the blend is different in 7lb bag versus 3lb.
I can understand how corporate dictates blend changes by the -annual year-, but can the the blend be different in every batch , literally .

Re: Seed Cultivars at the Big Box
Sometimes it can be due to retests. Law requires that all seed being sold is in date based on the state law. So, companies supply stick-on labels when the lot is retested to make sure it's still good.
By the way, sometimes name-brand seed in stores does contain the latest and greatest cultivars...I recently saw some 2019 dated Scotts seed in a local store with both "Apple 3GL" and "Fastball 3 GL" PR in it, for example.
