Seed Packets for your Garden

The grassland plants that Tallgrass Ontario uses in its restoration and reconstruction projects can make tremendous additions to your garden. These plants are also an excellent choice for pollinator patches. Each packet contains at least 30 seeds of the species indicated. These seeds are all guaranteed to be of Ontario genotype and have been hand collected from Tallgrass Ontario's previous grassland projects. We encourage you to only use these seeds in a garden or pollinator patch setting as introducing any plants at random in the wild without proper planning and advice is never a good idea.

For best results, these seeds should be started indoors in late winter, either under growing lights or in a greenhouse. The seedlings can be transplanted easily after about 12 weeks of indoor growth. Direct seeding outdoors is possible by sprinkling the seeds on top of bare soil and lightly dusting with soil (about 2mm maximum) and keeping the area well watered.
