Pollinators, including honeybees, monarch butterflies, and
other native species, are essential to the world’s food supply,
but their populations are declining at alarming rates.
We offer a dynamic selection of native plant seeds
to help restore vital habitat for imperiled pollinators.
A perennial mix suitable for areas ranging from full sun
to shade, with variable soil conditions.
Also available without grasses (ERNMX-125)
This mix of native wildflowers and some grasses
provides a gorgeous display of color from spring to fall.
It is designed for upland sites with well-drained soils
and full sun to semi-shaded areas. This mix is ideal for
attracting butterflies and hummingbirds.
Also available without grasses (ERNMX-153-1)
This mix of grasses and forbs features
pollinator-friendly species that are typically not favored
by deer. While no native mix is deer-proof, this one
helps minimize deer browsing.
This mix is showy the first year if planted before
mid-June. With proper management, this mix
will be showy in the second year.
This mix is showy the second year and beyond,
changing color and texture as it matures.
