It's vital that we value and protect our soil, a precious resource
that is easily damaged, and that's why we created our Southwest Native
Revegetation Seed Collection. Planting wildflowers will quickly cover
bare soil to prevent compaction, invasion by weeds, erosion and loss of
topsoil, and damage to soil life from unrelenting sun and heat. The
five specially selected native plants in this collection grow well in hot, dry
conditions, and will help to support the native bees, butterflies, and
beneficial bugs. Lacy Phacelia is a legume that’s often used as a flowering
cover crop, easily suppressing weeds and enriching soil. Fast-growing annuals
provide color in the first season, and can self-sow for blooms in subsequent
years. Deep-rooted perennials help stabilize soil and return year after year. Our
High Country Gardens seed mixes contain 100% seed with no fillers, and all
seeds are non-GMO, neonicotinoid-free, and guaranteed to grow.
