Choose native species seed paper specific to your region when ordering promotional products! When your promotion is planted, you and your customers will be helping the local ecosystem by contributing to habitats for important species and pollinators such as butterflies and bees. With so much waste being produced everyday, it is more important than ever to make green choices that will have a positive impact on the environment.
As pollinator plants, wildflowers help support declining bee populations. They also help to create habitats for birds, butterflies and other insects in the community. This is exactly why we want to encourage native plant growth across North America. By choosing a native seed type specific to your region, you will be spreading the most suitable flowers to the region and helping local ecosystems.

With its star-like lavender petals and bright green foliage, the Smooth Blue Aster is a perennial that grows in fields, open woods and roadsides. It blooms between August and October throughout much of North America. Late in the season, while the rest of the flowers fade, Blue Aster’s actually flourish with the cooler evening temperatures making them a beautiful addition to any garden. Beneficial for birds and butterflies, these fragrant flowers require dry soil and a medium amount of water.

It blossoms easily in a variety of soil types and is highly drought tolerant, growing in prairies, plains, savannahs and meadows. This charming flower has also been recognized for attracting tons of native bees and is also beneficial to seeds-granivorous birds, other insects and butterflies.
Lemon Mint
Beautiful and whimsical, Lemon Mint is an aromatic winter annual with a distinct citrus scent that grows easily on hillsides, slopes, pastures or wildflower meadows. It often grows in large colonies and continues to flower through the end of summer and even into early-mid autumn, all the while attracting native bees, butterflies and hummingbirds! Fragrant and lemony, the leaves can also be used raw or cooked for flavoring in salads and tea.
White Yarrow
With an earthy green stem, aromatic leaves and delicate pale to yellow florals, the White Yarrow is a perrenial herb that grows from May throughout autumn. Easy to care for, this plant has a lot of versatility as it’s suited for borders, rock gardens, wildflower meadows and can even be used for cutting or drying.

While we don’t encourage planting native species outside of their native range, if you’re willing to provide a little more T.L.C., very often plants will grow, and even flower, in regions other than where they are native. Here’s a few considerations for using them in other regions to improve the odds of successful establishment:
