My order from American Meadows arrived. :D This company offers lots of specialty blends, wildflowers, domestic flowers, and so on. Filters let you search for what you want, such as "Attracts Birds."


Monarch Butterfly Wildflower Seed Mix
The Monarch Butterfly Wildflower Mix is an easy-to-grow compilation of 27 wildflowers that will thrive in any sunny location throughout the US. Including 4 different types of Milkweed to ensure Monarchs have plenty of host plants to lay their eggs on, this mix also contains a variety of nectar-rich wildflowers for energizing monarch populations before they migrate. A blend of annuals and perennials provide early and lasting color. This is your go-to mixture for creating an official Monarch Waystation or simply helping out the local pollinators in your area.
(This has become one of my regular selections.)

Fragrant Wildflower Seed Mix
Enjoy the sweet fragrance of wildflowers all season long with our Fragrant Wildflower Seed Mix. It contains 16 fragrant wildflowers, both annuals and perennials, that will bloom spring through summer, year after year - It will burst into blooms the first year with the annual wildflowers and provide color in years after with the perennials.
(I'm trying this new mix.)

Little Bluestem Grass Seeds
This attractive grass produces purplish plumes with grey/green foliage. Little Bluestem can be planted for erosion control and will attract wildlife. Perennial. (Schizachyrium scoparium)
Little Bluestem prefers full sun and is extremely drought tolerant. It blooms from July to October.
(This prairie grass is native to our area and a keystone pollinator plant. We have planted both little and big bluestems in our prairie garden, hence all the skippers.)
