What Makes Our Native Seed Mixes Different From Competitors.
The biggest difference in our seed mixes is the amount of native wildflower species being 41 to 46 species in our high diversity seed mixes, and the percentage of Native Wildflower seed vs. Native Grass seed being 95% to 5%. For this amount of wildflower species, and this heavy of native wildflower to native grass percentage; no other native seed company can beat our pricing. As nearly all native seed companies offer; we also provide an instruction manual and customer service question answering via email as you work on transforming your land back into native meadow vegetation.
Cost Effectiveness
Native Prairie/Meadow Seedings cost about 2 to 13 cents per square foot where as using potted native plants to cover the same area costs $2.00 to $10.00 per square foot depending on how densely the potted plants are installed and mulch use. For example; a 1,000 Square foot pollinator garden would require at least 750 potted native wildflowers/grasses to cover the plot effectively. Potted Plants can cost $2 to $10 per plant, and at a cost of $5.00 per plant, 750 wildflowers/grasses would cost $3,750 + installation costs and mulching costs. If that 1,000 square feet were instead seeded with one of our mixes it would cost $125 - $150, and you could do the installation yourself simply: using our instruction manual. The cost effectiveness ratio increases even higher the larger of plot you are seeding vs. planting with plugs or potted plants - for 1/8th acre or larger the cost per square foot is only 2 to 3 cents where as the smaller 1,000 and 2,000 square foot portions are around 12 to 13 cents per square foot compared to the $3.75 per square foot cost of potted plants. Maintenance is easier and weed invasion resistance is much better with seeding projects vs. potted plant landscapes due to the density of native seedings repelling and blocking out weed competition as the plot matures.

It can adapt to more sunny conditions if need be, but is designed for at least part day’s shade. It ranges from 2 feet tall to 6 feet tall, with the Woodland Joe Pye Weed (Eutrochium purpureum) being the only species in the mix that gets over 4 feet tall. The species range from partial shade adapted such as Purple Coneflower and Wild Bergamot to deep shade adapted such as Wild Columbine, Bluestem Goldenrod, and Spikenard. This group of species is good for lower moisture, moderate moisture, and higher moisture soils of silty, loamy, clayey, or sandy soil types. If you seed it in drier conditions, you can give this mix 2 inches of water per 2 weeks via sprinkler specifically during summer droughts to maximize its floral intensity. This mix effectively covers your purchased square footage at 70 seeds per square foot.
This seed mix utilizes wide ranging species that are native to the Northeast, Southeast, and Midwest portions of our map at the top of this webpage.

Rose Mallow + Lobelia and Friends
15 Species: Cardinal Flower - Rose Swamp Mallow - Hibiscus moscheutos, Cardinal Flower Lobelia cardinalis, Great Blue Lobelia - Lobelia siphilitica, Spotted Bee Balm - Monarda punctata, Black Eyed Susan - Rudbeckia hirta, Swamp Milkweed - Asclepias incarnata, , Native Field Mint Mentha arvensis, Smooth Blue Aster - Symphyotrichum laeve, Purple Coneflower - Echinecea Purpurea, New England Aster - Symphyotrichum novae-angliae,, Foxglove Beardtongue Penstemon digitalis, Monkey Flower - mimulus ripens, Common Sneezeweed - Helenium autumnale, Marsh Blazing Star - Liatris Spicata, Meadow Beauty - Rhexia virginica
Our Rose Mallow (Hibiscus moscheutos) Cardinal Flower + Great Blue Lobelia & Friends Native Seed mix allows the opportunity to establish a micro-meadow or landscape bed sized mix with an abundance of these three featured species complemented by companion plants that will co-exist well with them long term. This mix mostly stays below 4 feet in height and is best planted in areas that receive at least 4 hours of direct sunlight per day or more. This group of species is adapted to moderate moisture soils, high moisture soils, and soggy or seasonally wet soils. This mix can also adapt to moderate moisture soils if supplementally watered during the dry parts of the summer, once every 12 days with 1.5 inches of water. It is applicable to silty, loamy, clayey, or sandy soil types. These species mature fairly quick, and will put on a great display of flowers in their second year and beyond. In the first year, you will see some Black Eye Susan blooms as well. The 1,000 square foot portion can be split down into landscape bed sized portions or kept as a micro-meadow of 1,000 square feet. The 2,000 square foot portion gives a bulk discount, and allows for a double sized micro-meadow. With using 15 species for this seed mix, these micro-meadows and/or landscape beds will appear more uniform and random than our high diversity mixes making them ideal for residential settings where neighborly aesthetics are being considered. This mix will attract Humming Birds, and many native bee species throughout the season as well as host Monarch Butterflies and many other native moths and butterflies.

The 1,000 square foot portion can be split down into smaller landscape bed sized portions or kept as a micro-meadow of 1,000 square feet. The 2,000 square foot portion gives a bulk discount, and allows for a double sized micro-meadow. With using 12 species for this seed mix, these micro-meadows and/or landscape beds will appear more uniform and organized than our high diversity mixes making them ideal for natural landscaping beds.

Midwest High Diversity Native Seed Mix (50 species)
This seed mix contains 50 species of native wildflowers and grasses/sedges. Wildflowers make up 95% of the seed mix while the 5 species of grasses/sedges make up 5% of the seed mix. This design is to ensure long wildflower diversity long-term as native grasses and sedges can become over dominant over time when designed at higher seed proportions due to the lack of Bison and/or Elk grazing the Native Meadows/Prairies. The height is mixed with most plants remaining under 3.5 feet tall, and a minority of plants reaching higher than 3.5 feet tall. This seed mix is rated at 80 seeds per square foot and will bloom from May into October with a high diversity of native wildflowers. Its species will adapt to partial sun, full sun, seasonally saturated soils, moderate moisture soils, and lower moisture soils.
