The “Showy Savanna” High Diversity Prairie Seed Mix is our most diverse native seed mix, containing 50+ species of wildflowers, native grasses, legumes, and sedges. Designed for full sun to partial shade, it performs well in soils ranging from medium-dry to medium-wet.
This blend provides continuous blooms and habitat from late spring through fall. Species such as Purple Coneflower, Prairie Blazing Star, Wild Bergamot, Cardinal Flower, and Blue Lobelia provide season-long color and nectar. Native grasses like Little Bluestem, Big Bluestem, and Switchgrass add structure, cover, and year-round interest.
The different bloom times and plant heights produce a dynamic landscape that changes from year to year as different species emerge and thrive. Deep-rooted native grasses help stabilize soil and suppress weeds, while dozens of flowering species provide nectar, pollen, seeds, and cover for bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, songbirds, and other wildlife.
Use this mix to create a vibrant, species-rich planting that supports pollinators, wildlife, and long-term biodiversity. For more grass coverage, consider our Savanna Blend. For shadier sites near woodlands, explore our Woodland Edge Blend.

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.

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.
