Description

The Massachusetts Native Wildflower Seed Mix is a thoughtfully assembled collection of wildflowers chosen specifically for nativity, performance, and ecological value in Massachusetts's climate and soils, from the rocky coastal shores and Cape Cod sandplains to the Pioneer Valley and the Berkshire Hills. The base mix brings together ten proven native performers, including Black Eyed Susan, Swamp Milkweed, Butterfly Weed, Wild Bergamot, Ohio Spiderwort, Eastern Red Columbine, New England Aster, Spotted Joe Pye Weed, Plains Coreopsis, and Common Evening Primrose, delivering continuous color from spring through hard frost and genuine food and habitat value for Massachusetts'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 Massachusetts 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 Massachusetts 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:

White Turtlehead Seeds (Chelone glabra) - One of the most distinctive native wildflowers in the Massachusetts flora, White Turtlehead produces dense terminal clusters of white, snapdragon-like blooms with a soft pink blush from midsummer through fall, at precisely the moment when most other perennials are winding down. The primary host plant for the Baltimore Checkerspot butterfly, whose caterpillars depend on it exclusively, it also draws bumblebees, long-tongued native bees, and hummingbirds. Deer resistant, adaptable to moist soils and part shade, and a genuinely rare find in the seed trade.

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. A genuinely rare find in the seed trade.

Pale Coneflower Seeds (Echinacea pallida) - The elegant cousin of Purple Coneflower, with long, drooping pale lavender-pink ray petals surrounding a warm copper-bronze cone. It blooms in early summer, supports a wide range of native bees and butterflies, and brings a subtle, refined beauty to meadow plantings that the common coneflower cannot quite match.

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 the native goldenrods, and a powerful bridge between summer and the season's end.

Smooth Blue Aster Seeds (Symphyotrichum laeve) - Among the native blue asters, Smooth Blue Aster stands out for the sheer abundance and intensity of its blooms, producing a profusion of blue to violet daisy-like flowers with bright yellow centers from late summer into fall. It carries a special value designation for native bees from the Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation, and is a confirmed host plant for the Pearl Crescent butterfly.

*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.
