Attract a wide variety of native birds to the landscape with the Backyard Bird Buffet Wildflower Mix. This carefully selected blend features native grasses, wildflowers, and perennials that provide essential habitat for the insect species birds rely on to successfully raise their young. Designed to create a thriving ecosystem, this mix offers season-long interest while supporting both birds and pollinators.
Some species in the mix are expected to germinate and bloom during the first growing season, while others may not emerge until the second or third year. Because the mix contains a strong selection of perennial species, including woody perennials, establishment takes time. Patience is rewarded with a diverse, long-lasting habitat that continues to improve year after year.
