A native seed bomb mix for Ontario and Quebec, selected to feed adult butterflies through the flight season and to provide host plants for caterpillars. Common Milkweed, for example, is the monarch caterpillar’s food plant. Best used in sunny to partly sunny locations along garden edges, meadows, roadside plantings and restoration patches. Each seed bomb packs native seeds into a clay carrier with worm castings to protect them until conditions are right for germination.
Included species
Blue Vervain (Verbena hastata)
Purple Prairie Clover (Dalea purpurea)
Common Milkweed (Asclepias syriaca)
Lavender Hyssop (Agastache foeniculum)
Canada Tick Trefoil (Desmodium canadense)
Square-stemmed Monkeyflower (Mimulus ringens)
Little Bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparium)
Planting notes
When: Fall is ideal, just before the ground freezes. Spring planting works too once temperatures are cool.
Where: Bare or lightly loosened soil with as little competing vegetation as possible. Seed bombs can be set directly on the soil or even on snow in late fall.
How: Place each seed bomb on the soil and if desired press it in so it sits snug against the ground. Leave about 30 cm (1 ft) between seed bombs. Water lightly if rain isn’t expected.
What to expect: Native wildflowers take patience. Many establish roots in their first year and bloom more fully in later seasons, and some seeds wait for a freeze-thaw cycle before germinating.
Pack contents: Six seed bombs, covering about approx. 6 square feet.
