Wild Nectar Garden

Hummingbirds and butterflies will flock to your wild nectar garden. It will provide years of joy for children of all ages.

The above photo is not an actual photo of our Wild Nectar Garden mix. It is a small prairie we know of that has many of the same kinds of wildflowers, so we put it here to give you a picture of things to come. In the photo you can see Columbine, Ironweed, Lance-leaf coreopsis, Large-flowered beardtongue, and Rough blazing star (not in bloom).
