Seeds are ideal for creating or enhancing pollinator habitat when used alone or in combination with perennial plants. Regionally-specific seed packets have been compiled for distribution with the native plant ‘Habitat Kits’ in the fall of 2024.
Seed packets may contain, but not be limited to a combination of the following native species:
annual sunflower (Helianthus annuus), blue grama grass (Bouteloua gracilis), common gaillardia (Gaillardia aristata), coyote tobacco (Nicotiana attenuata), desert globemallow (Sphaeralcea ambigua), dusty penstemon (Penstemon comarrhenus), firecracker penstemon (Penstemon eatonii), Great Basin lupine (Lupinus nevadensis), Great Basin wildrye (Leymus cinereus), Lewis Flax (Linum lewisii), Munro globemallow (Sphaeralcea munroana), muttongrass (Poa fendleriana), Nevada showy goldeneye (Heliomeris multiflora), prairie aster (Machaeranthera tanacetifolia), Rocky Mountain beeplant (Cleome serrulata), showy Milkweed (Asclepias speciosa), silvery lupine (Lupinus argenteus), sulfur flower buckwheat (Eriogonum umbellatum), thickleaf penstemon (Penstemon pachyphyllus), Utah sweetvetch (Hedysarum boreale), whitestem rubber rabbitbrush (Chrysothamnus nauseosus hololeucus), winding sego lily (Calochortus flexuosus), yellow beeplant (Cleome lutea)
