Planting wildflowers in Illinois can have several benefits. Wildflowers native to the region such as lupine, purple coneflower, black eyed susan, and phlox can help maintain the ecological balance of the area. They provide a source of nectar and pollen for a myriad of bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, ensuring the reproduction and diversity of plant species. Our Illinois Wildflower Seed Mix contains these four varieties, along with 23 others! 60% of the seeds are annual in this mix while the remaining 40% are perennial, ensuring years of color for The Prairie State.
