Description

The Michigan Native Wildflower Seed Mix is a thoughtfully assembled collection of wildflowers chosen specifically for nativity, performance, and ecological value in Michigan's climate and soils, from the hardwood forests and glacial lakes of the Lower Peninsula to the rugged shorelines and meadows of the Upper Peninsula. The base mix brings together ten proven native performers, including Purple Coneflower, Black Eyed Susan, Butterfly Weed, Bee Balm, Swamp Milkweed, Eastern Red Columbine, New England Aster, Spotted Joe Pye Weed, Stiff Goldenrod, and Common Evening Primrose, delivering continuous color from spring through hard frost and genuine food and habitat value for Michigan'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 Michigan 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 Michigan 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:

Blazing Star Seeds (Liatris spicata) - A reliable and low-maintenance native, Blazing Star draws bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and seed-eating songbirds across a long display season, and doubles as a striking cut flower. Tall, densely packed purple bottlebrush spikes open from the top down in midsummer for a dramatic, long-lasting display that is hard to match in the late-season garden.

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.

Grey Headed Coneflower Seeds (Ratibida pinnata) - A tall, airy native prairie perennial with long, drooping yellow ray petals surrounding a distinctive grayish-brown cone that releases an anise scent when bruised. Blooms from midsummer through fall, carries a special value designation for native bees from the Xerces Society, is a confirmed larval host for the Silvery Checkerspot butterfly, and feeds Goldfinches and other songbirds from its seedheads well into winter.

Lavender Hyssop Seeds (Agastache foeniculum) - One of the premier pollinator plants in the native garden, with densely packed spikes of lavender-purple flowers that bloom from midsummer through fall above fragrant, anise-scented foliage. A magnet for bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and night-flying moths, it feeds migrating songbirds from its seedheads in fall and winter. Deer resistant, drought tolerant, and considered one of the most valuable nectar plants in the eastern flora.

Prairie Sage Seeds (Artemisia ludoviciana) - One of the most ecologically important plants in this collection. Prairie Sage brings striking silvery-white aromatic foliage that contrasts beautifully with the warm colors of Michigan's summer wildflowers, and its spreading, rhizomatous habit makes it an exceptional soil stabilizer for dry, rocky, and disturbed sites. A confirmed larval host for both the American Lady and Painted Lady butterflies, it provides forage and nesting material for a wide range of native bees and small mammals.

*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.
