Size: 1 Packet
  • A mixture of perennial and annual wildflowers that will delight Monarch Butterflies and other pollinators visiting your garden. It contains a variety of wildflowers, garden flowers, and milkweeds of varying heights, colors, and bloom times giving butterflies nectar to eat and a place to lay eggs, while the caterpillar (larvae) of the monarch eats the leaves of the milkweed.

    Annual Candytuft (Iberis umbellata), Butterfly Milkweed (Asclepias tuberosa), Dwarf Cosmos (Cosmos bipinnatus), Gayfeather (Liatris spicata), Hoary Vervain (Verbena stricta), Indian Blanket (Gaillardia pulchella), Marigold 'Naughty Marietta' (Tagetes patula), Mexican Sunflower (Tithonia rotundifolia), Purple Coneflower (Echinacea purpurea), Rocket Larkspur (Delphinium consolida), Siberian Wallflower (Cheiranthus allionii), Smooth Aster (Aster laevis), Sulphur Cosmos (Cosmos sulphureus), Zinnia (Zinnia elegans)

    • Attract Monarchs - This wildflower mix contains milkweed seeds that are the host plant for the orange monarch to lay its eggs and for the caterpillars to live on. This mix of perennial and annual flowers can be scattered in a meadow or planted in your outdoor pollinator garden to support conservation efforts and improve your local ecosystem.
    • Bees, Butterflies, Hummingbirds & Pollinators - Each of these packets contains a collection of native wildflowers, garden flowers, and milkweed that may help other wild bee, hummingbird, and other pollinators. This mixture contains a variety of bush, vine, and other types of flowers in various sizes, colors, and bloom times from spring to fall.
    • Cold Stratify for Better Germination - For best results, recreate winter conditions to prime the seeds for planting. For indoor seed starting, sprinkle seeds into a damp paper towel, roll up, and store in the refrigerator for 2-3 weeks, then sow as usual. Stratification encourages seeds to sprout, giving you more young seedlings to become healthy plants

FAQ

Heirloom seeds are the types of seeds your grandparents grew. These varieties have been passed down from generation to generation. They’re old reliable open-pollinated varieties that aren’t typically grown commercially. Instead, they have a rich history that predates modern breeding techniques.

You can learn more about open-pollinated, heirloom, and non-GMO seeds in our Survival Garden Training blog.

The majority of our seeds are sourced in the United States, with a few exceptions when the seed is difficult to source domestically. Whenever we do have to source outside of the US, we ensure our seeds are safe to grow, non-GMO varieties that meet our standards for germination and reliability.

No, we do not pre-treat our farmer seeds. All of our garden seeds for sale are untreated, open-pollinated, non-GMO, and heirloom varieties. They are kept in temperature-controlled cooler storage until they are packed and shipped to keep them pest and disease-free.

The seeds in our collections are specifically chosen from varieties that can be successfully grown from Zone 3 to Zone 10 USDA Hardiness Zones. However, individual varieties have specific needs to thrive in different environments. Each seed pack has optimal temperatures for germination and instructions on seed starting. Consult local frost dates to plan your garden and get the most out of your seeds.

Our seeds will generally last for 3-10 years if they are appropriately stored in a cool, dry place. However, we encourage you to grow your survival seeds within a year or two of purchase. This yields the best germination rates possible and also gives you more experience growing survival food now. At the end of the growing season, follow the instructions on the back of each packet for saving seeds for future gardens. These new seeds for survival will be more adapted to thrive in the growing conditions where you are.

We sell by weight for greater accuracy. We also pick the carefully chosen varieties to create the best survival seed vault possible, instead of aiming for a higher seed count by choosing only varieties with smaller seeds.
