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!
