Your success in planting native grass and habitat blends depends on the
quality of seeds purchased and climatic conditions. At Wildseed Farms our
seeds are tested twice yearly to ensure that our valued customers receive
the highest quality seed on the market. The seeds you purchase from
Wildseed Farms contain no inert material to bulk up the weight of the seeds
(clovers, kitty litter, or sand). With over 24 years’ experience in growing
wildflowers, Wildseed Farms continues to be the leader of the wildflower and
grass seed industry.
