The ONPM Pocket Pollinator Garden Seed Mix is mostly perennial wildflowers and grasses that will take 2 to 3 growing seasons to fully establish. For that first year pop of color and foraging for pollinators, plant the ONPM Fast Flowering Seed Mix at the same time. These annual wildflower species act as a cover crop and typically germinate and flower in the same growing season and these species will not impact the perennial wildflowers during the establishment phase.  

This mix can also be seeded alone to create a colorful annual wildflower garden. 

Contains the following species:

Wildflowers:

Chamaecrista fasciculata - Partridge Pea 

Cosmos bipinnatus - Cosmos (Introduced)

Centaurea cyanus - Cornflower (Introduced)

Gaillardia pulchella - Indian Blanket 

Coreopsis tinctoria - Plains Coreopsis 

Monarda citriodora - Lemon Mint 

1 Bulk Pound of Seed will cover approximately 1/4 acre when planted with the ONPM Pocket Pollinator Garden Seed Mix.

5 Bulk Pounds of Seed will cover approximately 1 acre when planted with the ONPM Pocket Pollinator Seed Mix.

This mix of native grasses and wildflowers typically grows to a height of 1 to 3 feet. Please note that each site is unique and that several factors can affect overall height. These factors include sunlight, hydrology and overall soil health.
