Wildflower Seeds

Bulk wildflower seeds provide a cost-effective solution and add a pop of color to farms, orchards, meadows and roadsides. Harris Seeds offers high-quality mixtures for the Midwest, Northeast and Southeast locations in the United States. 

Wildflower Seeds

Seed mixtures bloom from spring to fall with 18 to 22 species of annuals and perennials. They produce seeds, pollen, nectar and leaves for local wildlife and pollinators, and the flowers become food and habitats for butterflies, bees, birds and more.

Benefits of Wildflower Seeds 

Wildflower seeds provide ornamental and practical landscape solutions for a healthier local environment. They provide benefits even when they aren't blooming, such as:

  • Preventing erosion: Plants secure important roadways, hedgerows, ditch banks, riparian ways and spray paths.
  • Fostering a diverse plant community: Pollinators rely on plant species variation, and wildflowers produce diversity.
  • Providing color: Bright flower colors attract pollinators who are dependent on nectar. 
  • Sustaining ecosystems: Wildflowers provide natural habitats for bees and other beneficial insects. 
  • Improving soil health: Roots store water and nutrients deep into the soil and capture carbon from being released. 
  • Reducing effort: Wildflowers require little effort and water. 

How to Choose Your Wildflower Seed Mixes

  • Southeast: Pick this selection of seeds for the Southeast if you plan to grow wildflowers in Alabama, Arkansas, Northern Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Eastern Oklahoma, Tennessee, Eastern Texas or South Carolina.
