The wet-site counterpart to our standard pollinator mix, this blend swaps upland species for a sedge- and rush-anchored palette built to handle saturated soils while still delivering strong nectar and pollen value.
Mix Overview
Anchored by fox sedge, Virginia wild-rye, and deertongue grass for structure, this mix layers in genuinely wetland-adapted pollinator plants - swamp milkweed, common boneset, coastal plain and hollow Joe-Pye weed, swamp sunflower, and New England aster among them - to create a diverse, blooming wet meadow rather than a simple wetland grass planting. Soft rush and woolgrass round out the mix with rapid establishment and erosion resistance in consistently damp soil.
Application
Pollinator habitat plantings on wet or seasonally saturated sites
Wet meadow and sedge meadow restoration
Stormwater basin and detention area plantings with fluctuating water levels
Naturalized buffers around ponds, streams, and low-lying drainage areas

Planting Guidance
Best seeded into a prepared, weed-free seedbed in spring or late fall on sites that stay consistently moist. Light raking or rolling after seeding improves soil-to-seed contact. Grasses and sedges typically establish first, with the full wildflower component filling in over the following one to two seasons.
Please allow 3 business days for all seed orders.
