Description

The Emergent Wetland native seed mix is designed for the most waterlogged sites—places where soil stays saturated or shallow water lingers through the growing season. Perfect for wetland edges, marshes, bioswales, and pond margins, this mix not only adds seasonal beauty but also improves ecosystem health. Its dense root systems filter runoff, trap sediment and nutrients, and enhance water quality, while the diverse plant community supports wetland birds, amphibians, pollinators, and aquatic insects.

Adapted to full to partial sun and wet to saturated soils, this mix thrives in hydrologic conditions where few other plantings succeed. Species like Prairie Cordgrass stabilize soils against erosion, while moisture-loving forbs such as Swamp Milkweed and Blue Flag Iris add striking blooms and nectar for butterflies and bees. Together, they create a resilient wetland planting that blends ecological function with visual appeal.

Ideal for restoration projects, stormwater management, and habitat creation, the Emergent Wetland mix establishes a long-lived native plant community that strengthens biodiversity and shoreline resilience.

For areas with slightly less saturation, consider our Sedge Meadow Blend as a better fit.

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.
