Description

The Showy Savanna High Diversity Prairie native seed mix features more than 40 species of vibrant wildflowers, native grasses, legumes, and sedges — offering continuous color and habitat from late spring through fall. Designed for prairie restoration, pollinator habitat creation, and savanna enhancement projects, this mix thrives in full sun to partial shade and adapts to dry, mesic, or slightly moist soils.

Designed for maximum biodiversity, the Showy Savanna mix attracts bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and songbirds, while its dense grass matrix helps suppress weeds and improve soil stability. Species like Little Bluestem, Purple Coneflower, and Lanceleaf Coreopsis provide vibrant color and reliable habitat for years to come.

Its mix of heights creates layered habitat, making it valuable for both wildlife and aesthetics. If you want a similar look with more grass coverage, consider the Savanna Blend. For shadier woodland borders, try the Woodland Edge Blend.

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.
