Spring Blooms
Celebrate the awakening of the growing season with native wildflowers that bloom from early spring through late May. These early risers provide critical nectar and pollen for emerging pollinators when few other food sources are available. From woodland ephemerals that carpet the forest floor before the canopy leaves out to prairie pioneers that break through last year's thatch, spring bloomers set the stage for a season of ecological abundance. Perfect for adding early color to gardens while supporting bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects during their most vulnerable period.
