More than 30-species -- all native to the broader Pacific Northwest

Attract bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and beneficial insects with this dramatic wildflower show. The combination of native annuals and perennials in this seed mix provides an ongoing succession of flowers over multiple years. This seed mix includes native bunch grasses to provide nesting habitat for bees and to reduce weed encroachment.

Unlike cheap, mass-produced "wildflower seed mixes," this mix includes true native species, and is formulated at a seeding rate of 60+seeds per square foot. 

This mix was developed following almost two-decades of extensive research and real world field trials, including information gained during our co-founder, Eric Lee-Mäder's tenure at the Xerces Society as a director of pollinator conservation. In fact, earlier Xerces formulations that this improved mix are based upon were evaluated by the USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service in Corvallis, Oregon where these plant species consistently demonstrated: 1) extremely high attractiveness to native bees, 2) extended bloom time across multiple seasons, 3) good multi-year persistence. To date this mix has been successfully established on hundreds of acres regionally.

Some key notes:

  1. The photos here show the changes in blooming species across the seasons. Because of the diversity of species in the mix, it is a constantly changing spectrum of plants, a spectrum that also changes from year-to-year.
  2. This mix makes good use of native Annual Hairgrass (Deschampshia danthoides), as a fast-growing nurse crop species. This small-statured grass typically establishes early in the first year, filling in spaces between the slower-growing wildflowers (Stabilizing the soil and reducing places for weeds to invade). It does not typically re-seed extensively, nor persist beyond a few years -- so -- if your meadow looks especially "grassy" shortly after planting, please note that much of that grass is likely this beautiful little native species that helps form a bridge between early establishment and the long-term life of the meadow.

Get Them Excited to READ
Format: Paperback
I bought this book for my daughter's 8th birthday. She reads on a mid-third grade level and I needed some chapter books that would hold her interest. She is big on starting books but they "bore" her and don't hold her attention for 100 pages of text. I thought I'd buy her a couple of "starter" books so if she liked them we could continue the series. She is really into Monster High right now so I thought this series might interest her. I was right. She has told me daily how much she enjoys this books and actually looks forward to her 20 minute reading time both at home and at school. Every night during bath time she tells me what she read that day. As a book lover I am so excited to see her finally showing some interest in reading! I knew if I found the right material I could get her hooked.

... 8 year old son is having a lot of fun with this book
Format: Paperback
My 8 year old son is having a lot of fun with this book. It has a good balance of illustration and text. He has struggled to read and is considered average for his age. We have tried to get him interested in a series and have purchased many other books. Since reading Haunted library #1 he has requested the next book in the series. He also likes the Yeti files and is waiting on pins and needles for the next in that series to be released. It is such a relief to finally get him excited about reading!

Engaging
Format: Paperback
We love this entire series. We had read book 3 first & my 8 year old loved it so much we bought the rest of the series. There’s enough of a cliffhanger that you want to know who he finds next in his family.
