Description

Starting a native garden doesn’t have to be expensive or overwhelming. Our Budget Prairie native seed mix is a cost-effective way to bring the beauty and ecological value of a native prairie to your property. Blending wildflowers, grasses, sedges, and legumes, it creates habitat for pollinators, birds, and beneficial insects while adding vibrant, season-long color.

Suited for full to partial sun and adaptable to soils from dry to wet, Budget Prairie is ideal for large-scale projects or homeowners starting their first prairie planting. Key species like Black-Eyed Susan, Purple Coneflower, and Switchgrass offer both visual appeal and ecological function.

For a more visually striking, high-diversity prairie, consider the Showy Savanna Mix.

PLS stands for Pure Live Seed — an industry standard measure of seed quality. It reflects the percentage of seed in a batch that are capable of germinating.

We want you to get exactly what you pay for. Many companies sell bulk seed that includes non-viable seeds and filler. By pricing based on PLS, we ensure you’re getting the highest quality native seed with predictable results and successful germination.
