Each of these options will provide a niceprairie reconstruction, but the more flowers you add, the more showy your planting will be.

We may need to substitute if some species are out of stock.

Our forbs are properly treated or inoculated. We will cold/damp stratify your seeds at no additional cost if notice is given 6-8 weeks prior to your planting date. Cold damp stratification simulates winter and prepares your seeds to germinate more rapidly. No stratification is needed for fall plantings.

The above flower and grass mixes are not preblended. Orders are individually mixed to insure the proper amount of each species and to allow for individual preferences and site requirements. We will custom design mixtures to fit your needs or site at no additional charge with your seed purchase. If you would like help in planning your project, please let us know.
