Wildlife Seed Mixes

Depending on seed availability, wildlife seed can ship as quickly as the next business day.

Some of the benefits of planting a wildlife seed blend includes:

• Increase wildlife viewing opportunities
• Support biodiversity
• Create wildlife habitat
• Improve ecosystem health
• Carbon sequestration
• Water conservation
• Educational opportunities

To prepare your site for planting a wildlife seed mix, follow these instructions:

1. Plant a cover crop to eliminate future weed pressure.
2. If planting a cover crop is not feasible, ensure a weed free seedbed with either mechanical or chemical termination of existing vegetation.
3. Plant your warm-season wildlife blend in the spring when temperatures reach 65 degrees Fahrenheit or higher. Soil temperatures are the key.
4. Plant your cool-season wildlife blend in fall at least 30 days before the expected first freeze date.

You can use a drilling or broadcasting method for planting seed.

No, most wildlife seed blends do not require irrigation. While irrigation is great (if available) and can speed up the establishment, the majority of our projects are done without any irrigation.

If irrigation is available, fill the soil profile to field capacity prior to planting. After planting, frequent shallow watering is recommended until the seedlings are established. During these waterings, there should not be water standing or running off at any time. 

Once the wildlife blend is well established, reduce the frequency of waterings and increase their depth. After full establishment, the only time irrigation will be needed is during dry spells when active growth is needed.

How long it takes wildlife seeds to mature depends largely on the specific species you are planting. Most native species will germinate in ten days to eight weeks if temperatures are above 65 degrees Fahrenheit and have adequate soil moisture.
