Description

The Maryland Native Wildflower Seed Mix is a thoughtfully assembled collection of wildflowers chosen specifically for nativity, performance, and ecological value in Maryland's climate and soils, from the Chesapeake Bay watershed and the Atlantic Coastal Plain to the rolling Piedmont and the ridges and valleys of the western Appalachians. The base mix brings together ten proven native performers, including Black Eyed Susan, Purple Coneflower, Butterfly Weed, Bee Balm, Lanceleaf Coreopsis, Rattlesnake Master, Ohio Spiderwort, Early Sunflower, Plains Coreopsis, and Common Evening Primrose, delivering continuous color from spring through hard frost and genuine food and habitat value for Maryland's pollinators and wildlife.

Sized by square footage rather than weight, it takes the guesswork out of planning, whether you are covering a small garden bed or transforming a larger open area. Each size contains a different quantity of base mix scaled to your coverage area, but every order includes the same five bonus seed packets regardless of size. Because these rare species are small-seeded, expensive to source, and impossible to guarantee at a consistent rate when blended into a bulk mix, they are included as individual packets so that every single customer receives a full, generous quantity of each one!

Every species in this mix was hand-selected for its performance in Maryland conditions, its value to the local food web, and its contribution to a planting that stays interesting from spring through hard frost. The five bonus packets are where this mix goes above and beyond: each one features a rare, unusual, or ecologically exceptional Maryland native that you are unlikely to find anywhere else, packaged individually so you can place each species exactly where it will do its best work.

What's included in your five bonus packets:

Aromatic Aster Seeds (Symphyotrichum oblongifolium) — One of the last natives to bloom before winter, Aromatic Aster produces dense mounds of violet-purple daisy-like flowers from September through November, often pushing past the first frosts. Fragrant when crushed, it carries a special value designation for native bees from the Xerces Society, is a larval host for the Silvery Checkerspot butterfly, and feeds songbirds and game birds through winter. An outstanding late-season performer across all of Maryland's ecological regions.

Foxglove Beardtongue Seeds (Penstemon digitalis) — One of the earliest and showiest natives to bloom in the Maryland spring, Foxglove Beardtongue sends up tall, elegant spikes of white tubular flowers with purple-veined throats from late May through June, filling the gap before most summer wildflowers get going. It draws bumblebees, native long-tongued bees, hummingbirds, and butterflies, and its ornamental seedpods provide winter interest and food for small birds. Adaptable to a wide range of soils including clay, tolerant of both drought and occasional wet conditions, and strongly deer resistant.

Common Milkweed Seeds (Asclepias syriaca) — The single most important plant you can grow for Monarch butterflies, whose caterpillars feed exclusively on milkweed foliage. Fragrant, rose-purple flower clusters bloom in midsummer, attracting a remarkable diversity of native bees, butterflies, and beneficial insects. Spreads by rhizomes to form expanding colonies and provides food and habitat value across the full season from bloom through seedpod.

Nodding Bur Marigold Seeds (Bidens cernua) — A late-season showstopper that many gardeners may never have grown! Bright yellow sunflower-like flowers bloom from late summer into fall, attracting bees, butterflies, skippers, and moths before giving way to seeds eaten by waterfowl and songbirds. Well suited to wet spots, rain gardens, and drainage areas along Maryland's many stream corridors and bay tributaries. A genuinely rare find in the seed trade.

Showy Goldenrod Seeds (Solidago speciosa) — Bold, upright plumes of deep golden yellow bloom from late summer into fall, providing a critical late-season nectar source for migrating Monarchs, native bees, and beneficial insects. One of the showiest and most ecologically valuable of Maryland's native goldenrods, and a powerful bridge between summer and the season's end.

*Your base mix and bonus packets can be planted together in the fall. If planting in spring, cold stratify the bonus packets, then incorporate them into the mix and sow.
