Native Seed Collection - Rain Garden Packet - Prairie Moon Nursery (L2L)

Any area where water collects can be transformed into a mini sanctuary. This collection of plants will absorb water and filter runoff, all while providing habitat for pollinators and stunning blooms to enjoy! Naturally wet, rich soils often support tall, robust plant growth. The wildflowers in this collection will range from 3 to 6 feet in height and can tolerate standing water for short periods of time. 

The Rain Garden Collection includes 1 seed packet of each of the following 6 species:

Rose Milkweed (Asclepias incarnata) - 100 seeds/packet
Joe Pye Weed (Eutrochium maculatum) - 400 seeds/packet
Sneezeweed (Helenium autumnale) - 500 seeds/packet
Cardinal Flower (Lobelia cardinalis) - 750 seeds/packet
Obedient Plant (Physostegia virginiana) - 200 seeds/packet
New England Aster (Symphyotrichum novae-angliae) - 500 seeds/packet

For a naturalized look, combine all seed packets to cover approximately 15-20 sq. ft.
Surface sow outdoors on a weed-free site in early spring or late fall. Mow throughout the first growing season. Expect first blooms in year 2.

Alternatively, sow seed in rows in a garden setting in early spring or late fall. Thin seedlings and weed as expected with vegetable gardening. Transplant to permanent locations that fall or the following spring.
