If your area is too large to plant plugs or pots, these mixes will help you create some prairie habitat more economically. They have been designed to provide lots of diversity with 50% wildflowers in the prairie mixes and 70% flowers in Part Shade/Woodland Mix.
SEEDING INSTRUCTIONS
Creating a native plant community from seed is a long-term investment. Using our original prairie species, you can create a beautiful & diverse natural landscape that returns year after year. It is not as simple as Mother Nature makes it look though. Planning, preparation & maintenance are important for successful establishment. And patience is required since it takes minimally 3-4 years for the community to establish.
Please download the Planting & Seeding Guide for instructions on planning, preparation, seeding & maintenance.
