Native Seed Mixes
We've designed our seed mixes to cover a wide variety of applications including habitat for birds, bees, pollinators and more, slope stabilization and erosion control, septic fields, partially shaded areas and wet soils. Beautify your landscape, support sustainability and create habitat with our broad selection of native seed mixes.
Seed Packets
Whether you call them Pocket Prairies or Micro Meadows, bees, birds, butterflies and other wildlife will call them home. Seed Packets are some of our most popular mixes to plant in smaller areas of your landscape starting at 100 square feet. This is a great place to start if you're new to native plants and gardening.
The REAL DEAL
A wildflower, by definition, refers to a flower growing in the wild without being tended to by people. As a steward of the environment, it's important for you to be informed that not all wildflowers are created equal.
Increased public awareness has paved the way for many seed outlets to market and sell "wildflowers". A substantial percentage of these "wildflower" species originate from Asia, Europe and places with much different ecosystems. These inexpensive mixes contain mostly annual species and some are considered troublesome weeds that actually displace our native vegetation.
OPN Seed's native wildflower seed is the "REAL DEAL". Our seed mixes include annual and perennial species, native to our region of the United States. They grew up here. They create habitat, support long-term sustainability and beautify landscapes. In short, they belong here! In the event that we include non-native species, it is done for a specific reason (low maintenance, early cover, etc.) and we indicate that they are introduced species.
Over the last 20 years, we have learned and taught a lot about native ecosystems. Our native seed mixes reflect this and we try our best to make ourselves available to answer questions about our products and how to use them. We encourage you to plant native species, to do the right thing and go with the "REAL DEAL", native seed from OPN Seed (Ohio Prairie Nursery).
Prairie ON!
Plan For Fall
Native seed performs well when installed in the fall when soil temperatures are below 50 degrees. Learn how you can prep your area now and seed later this year. You can order your seeds now and store them in a cool, dry location until it is time to plant.
