Where is the best place to get a variety of seeds?


Late blooming examples are gayfeather, goldenrod, snow-on-the-prairie.
And native grasses.. gulf muhly flowers look like pink-purple fog
right now.

For seeds, Native American Seed www.seedsource.com, the same folks who
sell seeds at the Wildflower Center Fall Festival. One exception is
scarified bluebonnet seeds from Wildseed Farms, which have a higher
first year germination rate.

Unfortunately for other than bluebonnets I can't wholeheartedly
recommend WIldseed Farms. Too many non-natives sold using the same
common name as Texas native wildflowers. Wish more local nurseries
would call them on the practice.
