Beginner No-Stratification Seed Collection

Collection $21.00

Description

Native gardening has never been easier! Designed specifically for beginners, the Beginner No-Stratification Seed Collection seed collection features some of our easiest-to-grow native wildflowers and grasses for pollinator gardens, backyard landscapes, and home gardens.

Unlike many native seeds, the species in this collection do not require cold-moist stratification prior to planting. Simply provide consistent moisture and warm temperatures around 70°F, and germination typically occurs within 15 to 45 days. No refrigeration or complicated seed preparation required. Because these species do not require stratification, they can also be sown in summer or planted throughout much of the year.

Selected for their beauty, reliability, and pollinator value, these species provide seasonal color and important nectar and habitat resources for bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and other beneficial pollinators. The Beginner No-Stratification Seed Collection also makes a perfect gift for those interested in native plants but unsure where to start.

Contains 7 individual seed packets and covers approximately 40 square feet when planted together.

Seeds & Seed Mixes:

Seeds and seed mixes ship nationwide, year-round, typically within 3–5 business days. If you would like to postpone a seed mix shipment until fall, please note this at checkout.

Live Plants:

Live plants are available year-round while inventory lasts and ship to all states except California, Arizona, Oregon, Washington, Nevada, Alaska, and Hawaii. After your order is placed, we’ll contact you to coordinate a spring shipping window, as many plants are overwintered and ship once dormancy breaks.

Estimated shipping for 2026 plant orders begins in mid-April, weather permitting.

If you’re looking to secure plants in advance or need larger quantities for a project, we offer contract growing options. Contact us to discuss your needs and request a quote. Additional species not listed online may also be available through contract grow.

Live Stakes:

Live stakes are available by request only and must be ordered by submitting a contact form. Ordering is open seasonally from November 1 through February 28. A minimum of 100 stakes per order is required, with at least 25 stakes per species.

Live stakes ship only to the following states: Missouri, Minnesota, South Dakota, North Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, and Iowa.

PLS stands for Pure Live Seed, an industry-standard measure of seed quality. It reflects the portion of seed in a batch that is viable and capable of germinating.

What this means for you: when you purchase 1 lb. of PLS seed, the physical weight of the seed you receive will be slightly more than 1 lb. That’s because we account for non-viable seed and natural inert material upfront, so you receive a full pound of live, plantable seed.

Many companies sell bulk seed by total weight, which can include filler and non-viable seed. By pricing based on PLS, we make sure you’re getting exactly what you paid for—high-quality native seed with more predictable, successful germination.
