Know before you buy
Late fall or early winter is ideal for most native seeds, as they require a period of cold, moist stratification to germinate successfully in the spring. If you missed the fall window, early spring sowing is possible, though some species may take longer to establish.
Yes, for the best results, clear the area of existing weeds and grasses and lightly loosen the top inch of soil. Native seeds need good seed-to-soil contact to germinate, so avoid burying them too deeply.
Consider the amount of sunlight your site receives and the soil moisture levels. For example, choose the 'Woodland Edge' mix for shaded areas or the 'Rain Garden' mix for spots that tend to hold water after a storm.
Most native perennials focus their energy on root development during the first year, so you may see limited blooms initially. By the second and third years, as the plants become established, you will see a much more vibrant display.
While these native plants are drought-tolerant once established, they need consistent moisture during the first few weeks of germination. Keep the soil lightly damp until the seedlings are a few inches tall.
