Description

The Procrastinator’s Pride Mix is a no stratification seed mix designed for gardeners who missed the fall planting window but still want a successful native planting this season. Unlike many native seed mixes that require cold-moist stratification, the species in this mix germinate readily in warm soil with no pre-treatment required. Simply plant native seeds in spring or early summer and enjoy fast establishment, first-year color, and pollinator activity without waiting until next year.

This beginner native seed mix combines fast-establishing annuals, native wildflowers, prairie grasses, and long-lived perennials to create a colorful, low-maintenance planting. Quick-growing species provide immediate visual impact while longer-lived natives establish for years of blooms and habitat value. The result is a native wildflower seed mix for beginners that delivers both short-term results and long-term ecological benefits.

Adapted to full sun and dry to medium soils, this spring planting wildflower seed mix attracts bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and other beneficial pollinators throughout the growing season. It performs well in home gardens, pollinator plantings, prairie restorations, borders, and naturalized landscapes.

Planting is simple. Clear existing vegetation, scatter seed directly onto bare soil, and lightly press the seed into the ground for good seed-to-soil contact. Water after sowing and provide occasional moisture during extended summer drought until seedlings establish.

If you missed the fall sowing window for our First Year Flora Seed Mix, Procrastinator’s Pride offers an easy summer planting wildflower seed mix that can be planted now and enjoyed this season.

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.
