Description
Questions and Answers
Our savanna mix provides color from April into October and attracts many kinds of wildlife. It consists nearly entirely of perennials with a few annuals or biennials that will provide some color while the perennials get established. This mix should be sown in late fall or winter--early February at the latest. Seed sown after February may not get the cold moist treatment (stratification) that it needs in order to germinate.

Questions and Answers
Q:
is it totally too late to plant these seeds? I have cleared an area for them last fall and time has gotten away from me.
Asked by:

A:
Most of the seeds in the savanna seed mix need a cold moist period (stratification). Ideally, the seeds should be sown between November and late January.
You can stratify seed in the refrigerator by mixing the seeds with some moistened sand or potting soil and chilling them for the appropriate amount of time--six to eight weeks should do it for many species in the savanna mix. (We have never stratified more than an ounce of seed at a time in the refrigerator, so we can't say that using this method will be effective for larger quantities of seed.)

Q:
Would this seed mix be good for a hillside that gets filtered light? We live in the woods but our front yard is decently sunny on a large hill side that faces E/NE.
Asked by:

- 11/30/2020
A:
It should do well on that site. There are many species in the mix that can grow in full sun, but there are also many that will prefer afternoon shade.

Q:
I see this seed mix is not available. Can I get on a waiting list?
Asked by:
Terry Brunholtz
- 4/19/2020
A:
Yes. Usually, if the website is functioning properly there will be a button to click that says "Put me on the Waiting List". Just add your name, email, and phone number. If this isn't an option, contact us so we can figure out what the problem is.
The seed mixes will be available this fall with fresh seed. Our mixes should be sown between late November through early February.

Q:
I'm interested in your savanna seed mix but am concerned that it's too late in the season to get the "stratification needed to germinate." Would you recommend just holding off this year or maybe doing some trick with my home freezer to get the seed prepped? I'm an amateur wildflower seeder. Thanks!
Asked by:
Eric Boles
- 2/28/2021
A:
I'd probably hold off if you're seeding a large area. Otherwise, you could mix up to a few ounces of mix with an equal or slightly greater volume of moist sand or potting soil and refrigerate it all for a month. This should be enough stratification for a good portion of the seeds, but a lot of them will stay dormant until next spring.

Q:
I'm looking through the list of species within your savanna seed mix and I'm wondering if all of these species would be native to Northwest Arkansas? Which are not? We're needing a good seed mix for an oak savanna in Fayetteville Arkansas.
Asked by:
Eric Boles
- 3/18/2021
A:
I'm not familiar with the distribution of each species, but I'm sure there is a lot of overlap between NW Arkansas & MO. If you see any species that you really question, bonap.org provides good range maps. Any easy way to use it is to enter the genus name (Packera, for example) and "bonap" into a search engine. This will lead you to the bonap range maps for every species in that genus that occurs in North America. Scroll through until you find the species you're looking for, and you'll see where it has been recorded down to the county level.
