Description

It is essential that flower seeds are sown with at least 30% grasses. For a “naturalized planting or restoration, Morning Sky Greenery highly recommends sowing grasses at a rate of 50% or more.  Species on list may vary depending on availability, but will include those species native to our region. Add some of our seed packets for more species diversity. See individual species for seed availability!
