Butterfly Beltway Native Prairie Mix - BULK

Introducing our Butterfly Beltway Native Prairie Mix, a carefully curated blend of 25 native flower and grass species. Please note, this mix will produce tall grasses and flowers.

By planting this mix, you'll be supporting our local pollinator project with proceeds benefitting our Butterfly Beltway Project.  You will be attracting butterflies, hummingbirds, and other essential pollinators. In fact, research conducted with our partners at Rochester Institute of Technology has shown that this mix can directly support over 500 locally known insect species. 

It's important to note that native prairies may take several years to mature, but with patience and persistence, your efforts will pay off.
