Big Prairie Kit
Big, tall, wild, and bold, the Big Prairie Kit is not for the timid. Best planted in open spaces, these plants will drop seed and cover more ground over time. Full of lush plants ranging from three feet to over five feet in height, you can create a native environment to literally lose yourself in. The Big Prairie kit will create habitat for all varieties of pollinators as well as many different songbirds.
Consider planting in clearings or open spaces with room to grow and plenty of sunlight.
Kit includes: 36 plants; six plants of six different species. Species included will vary based on current inventory and availability in a variety of bloom times and blossom colors. If you prefer choosing specific species, check out our Design Your Own Garden to select from a variety of native plant options.

Don’t forget to add the Grass!
The addition of native grass to any native wildflower garden has many benefits! Native grasses provide support and protection for wildflowers. They establish a ground cover to help prevent unwanted weeds from growing. They create a more natural environment and pollinator habitat and increase the overall fullness and beauty of wildflower gardens. MNL makes it easy to add native grass by offering Short and Tall Prairie Grass kits, as well as single species trays of native grasses and sedges for a variety of growing conditions. Save $10 when you pair a grass kit or single species tray to your wildflower plant kit order!
