Description
The Texas Native Collection is built for gardeners who want region-aware native plantings rather than a one-size-fits-all wildflower mix. Each collection includes roughly 4,000 seeds across 18 Texas native species, with 11 statewide favorites and 7 selections adjusted for Hill Country/North Texas, Central and Coastal Prairie, or South and Desert Border conditions.
Why Grow It
- Curated around Texas native wildflowers, grasses, and habitat plants rather than generic bulk seed mix.
- Three regional versions match Hill Country/North Texas, Central and Coastal Prairie, or South and Desert Border conditions.
- Core species include Texas bluebonnet, scarlet sage, partridge pea, Indian grass, sideoats grama, Indian blanket, black-eyed Susan, gloriosa daisy, and lemon mint bergamot.
- Individual packets help you group species by need, season, and visual effect instead of scattering an unknown blend.
- Includes roughly 4,000 seeds with black paper envelopes, sealed recyclable plastic inner sleeves, and mostly compostable or biodegradable packing materials according to the source listing.

FAQ
Which Texas region should I choose?
Use the version that best matches your location: Hill Country/North Texas zones 6-8, Central and Coastal Prairie zones 8-9, or South and Desert Border zones 9-10. Microclimates can vary, so match species to your soil, rainfall, and sun.
Is this a single mixed packet?
No. The collection is built from individual species packets so you can sow in grouped patches and follow each species' planting needs.
Why not scatter every species together?
Texas natives differ in chill needs, soil preference, timing, mature size, and watering. Grouped sowing usually gives cleaner establishment and a more intentional landscape.
What packaging is included?
The source listing describes black paper envelopes with sealed recyclable plastic inner sleeves, plus mostly compostable or biodegradable gift-pack and shipping materials.
