Our Backyard Birding Wildflower Seed Mix is an easy way to grow bird and pollinator habitat right in your own back yard. A rainbow of colorful flowers will light up your landscape from spring through fall. Birds will swoop through to feed on tiny insects, and once flowers fade, seeds provide them another good food source. Includes a mix of annuals, biennials, and perennials. All of our seed is non-GMO, neonicotinoid-free and guaranteed to grow.

Product Recommendations

Description

Plant our Backyard Birding Wildflower Seed Mix to invite birds and other flying friends to your garden or meadow. This mix includes several native wildflowers, which are ideal for habitat creation. We recommend leaving wildflowers standing over the winter months, for two important reasons. First, it will provide a habitat for overwintering insects, an essential food source for birds and their young. Second, dried wildflower seed heads provide a food source for birds when insects are less available. Designed by The Seed Man, Mike Lizotte, exclusively for American Meadows.
