Description
Septic Mound Kit
Create attractive, native habitat and reduce erosion on and around your septic mound with our Septic Mound Kit. Expertly designed with our friends at the University of Minnesota, the Septic Mound Kit includes a collection of beautiful native flowers and grasses that will strive in drier, poorer quality soils (septic mound fill) while providing important ground cover to reduce erosion and provide insulation.
Consider planting in full sunlight in well-drained soils on top of a septic mound.
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.

| Prairie Onion | Butterfly Milkweed | Bicknell’s Sedge | White Prairie Clover |

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!
