Mini Meadow Kit (16 Plants)

Save 30% off individually-priced plants! This kit includes 16 Wisconsin native plants that bloom from May to September to support pollinators all season long. All plants are on the shorter side: 3 feet tall or less.

Plants included: Exact species will vary based on availability but will include at least 8 flowers and 1 grass for full sun and medium moisture, with heights of 3 feet or less. Example mix:

• 1 x Coreopsis lanceolata (lance-leaved coreopsis) - keystone species!
• 1 x Asclepias verticillata (whorled milkweed)
• 2 x Dalea purpurea (purple prairie clover)
• 1 x Artemisia ludoviciana (prairie sage)
• 2 x Rudbeckia hirta (black-eyed Susan)
• 1 x Symphyotrichum laeve (smooth aster) - keystone species!
• 1 x Solidago ohioensis (Ohio goldenrod) - keystone species!
• 1 x Zizia aurea (golden Alexanders)
• 6 x Bouteloua curtipendula (side-oats grama) - ground layer

How to plant: For a meadow look, plant the grasses evenly throughout the space and scatter flowers informally. Plant densely: about 12 inches from center to center, keeping all plants at least 8 inches from the edge of the bed. Covers about 30 square feet.

Replacing lawn? For best results, remove existing vegetation before planting. I recommend smothering with cardboard and mulch for 2-3 months during the growing season. You can then push the mulch aside and easily plant through the cardboard.
