Individual Species vs. Seed Mixes

Can’t decide between individual wildflower seeds and a wildflower seed mix? Not sure which is right for your property? The team of experts at Nature’s Seed has got you covered. Individual seeds are perfect for the gardener who wants control over specific areas of their property.

Exercise control over factors like height, color, texture, and other characteristics. It’s much easier to spread specific seed types evenly when opting for individual seeds rather than a wildflower mix or blend. With individual wildflower seed, you can decide what grows where — keep your blue flowers separate from other flower types. Or plant seeds that specifically attract butterflies and other pollinators. You can also opt for seeds based on sun exposure. Choose flower seeds that thrive in full sun and save others for shaded areas.

On the other hand, wildflower mixes provide a healthy variety of colors and textures to roadside frontage like sidewalks. Choose a perennial wildflower seed mix, and you can plant them once and enjoy a blanket flower garden every year. Native wildflower mixes from Nature’s Seed also give you a good sampling of your region's native wildflowers. It also attracts butterflies and pollinators that are natural to the environment and rely on wildflower mixtures for food sources.

Whether you opt for mixes or individual species, all wildflower seed mixes from Nature’s Seed contain no grasses or fillers. They’re the ideal solution to help you build healthier soils, support agricultural progress, and support beneficial insects while also attracting birds across your region.
