Native Seed Gift Kit A-- Ecotype "Seed Bombs" for Winter Sowing
Winter sowing! Great holiday fun! Make your garden more pollinator friendly by simply tossing these “seed bombs” filled with native, locally grown, ecotype seeds into your existing flowerbeds, fields, or place into pot or planter. Winter sowing means no watering. The outdoor winter temperatures provide the necessary “cold stratification” these Native seeds need to flourish. The snow and rain will help the seed get established and the plants begin to grow in spring. Your local pollinators will thank you! Each carton contains twelve non-edible seed “truffles” or “seed bombs” ready to plant.
The “seed bomb” kits may be stored anywhere until planting - indoor or out, warm or cold, as long as they are kept dry. Complete planting instructions and help from members of our conservation committee Easton Pollinator Pathway Project included with every kit.
Collection A includes three “truffles” packed with a mix of the following species:
Asclepias tuberosa - Butterfly Weed or Monarda fistulosa - Wild bergamot
Mimulus ringens - Monkey Flower
Lobelia cardinalis - Cardinal Flower
Asclepias incarnata - Swamp Milkweed
These species grow well in full sun/ part shade and medium and/or moist/wet conditions.
