Info

Michigan Wildflower Farm is a producer of native Michigan wildflower and grass seed. Our producing plants are from foundation seed collected in Michigan-most within one hundred fifty air miles from our farm in Ionia County. The species collected were present before European settlement and insofar as it is possible to document, from sites which have not had plant materials introduced from other areas. Every attempt is made to maintain the broad range of genotypes present in the wild plant material. Specific location of the original seed stock is documented. Because for the most part we produce the seed and collect little in the wild, it has a higher germination rate, is less expensive and the environment is not impacted by collection of seed from the wild. If necessary to augment our perennial seed supply, we purchase seed from reputable dealers in the Great Lakes region. Grass seed is sold p.l.s. (pure live seed) and wildflower seed is sold bulk weight. Our sample packets contain 1-3 grams of seed.
