Make way for wildflowers.
This weedy hillside is being transformed into a pollinator paradise. Preparations in 2024 involved eliminating seed production in weedy plants. Existing vegetations was killed off via solarization. Areas for blue colored species were marked and the entire area was seeded before winter. The first blooms are expected in April 2025. Species seeded:
Prairie Moon Nursery “Short and Showy” mix
June grass, Koeleria macranthra
blue sage, Salvia azurea
Lupine, Lupinus perennis
