Native Plant Seeds

Planting native flowers and grasses is an effective way to create healthy, vibrant ecosystems. These plants are perfectly adapted to local conditions, providing essential food, shelter, and breeding grounds for pollinators, birds, and other wildlife. Additionally, native plants require less water, fertilizer, and pesticides, while also improving soil health and reducing runoff. By choosing native species, you contribute to climate resiliency and crucial conservation efforts, helping to preserve local plant genetics and protect wildlife habitats.

Grow with the Land – Native Flowers, Native Plants & Native Grasses

When you choose native flowers, native plants and native grasses, you’re doing more than planting a garden—you’re bringing a landscape back to life. These plants evolved for your region, with roots that reach deep and adapt naturally to local conditions. That means less watering, fewer inputs and more enduring beauty. They stand strong through seasonal changes and reward you with rich texture, varied blooms and a sense of place.

Why Native Plants Matter

Native plants form the backbone of thriving local ecosystems. They provide nectar and pollen for bees, butterflies and birds; they offer shelter and seeds for wildlife. Because they co-evolved with animals and insects in your region, they fill critical roles that non‐native ornamentals simply cannot. At the same time, native grasses and plants bring strong root systems that stabilize soil, reduce erosion and improve water infiltration—benefits that show up all season long.

Beauty, Ecology & Ease of Care

Native flowers aren’t just good for the environment—they’re good for the gardener too. These plants often require less watering, fewer chemicals and less maintenance because they are adapted to your region’s climate and soils. Over time they mature into resilient, self-sustaining landscapes that reward you with cycles of bloom and habitat that invite in birds and pollinators. That means more time enjoying your space and less time battling weeds or trying to coax plants through conditions they weren’t meant for.

Planting for the Future

By choosing native seeds of wildflowers, grasses, shrubs and more, you’re investing in a garden that grows into its purpose. One season may bring a splash of color, the next season deepens the roots, and gradually your space becomes both beautiful and vital. Whether you’re turning a patch of lawn into a meadow of native flowers, or adding native grasses to frame your garden, you’re building habitat, enhancing biodiversity and connecting with the land in a meaningful way.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are heirloom seeds?

Heirloom seeds are the types of seeds your grandparents grew. These varieties have been passed down from generation to generation. They’re old reliable open-pollinated varieties that aren’t typically grown commercially. Instead, they have a rich history that predates modern breeding techniques. You can learn more about open-pollinated, heirloom, and non-GMO seeds in our Survival Garden Training blog.

How do I know my seeds are fresh?

Every seed packet includes a "packed for" date, and we germination test each seed lot before packaging to ensure you receive viable, high-quality seeds that are ready to grow.

Are your seeds chemically treated?

No, we do not pre-treat our seeds. All of our garden seeds are untreated, open-pollinated, non-GMO, and heirloom varieties. They are kept in temperature-controlled cooler storage until they are packed and shipped to keep them pest and disease-free.

Will your seeds grow in my USDA Hardiness zone?

The seeds in our collections are specifically chosen from varieties that can be successfully grown from Zone 3 to Zone 10 USDA Hardiness Zones. However, individual varieties have specific needs to thrive in different environments. Each seed pack has optimal temperatures for germination and instructions on seed starting. Consult local frost dates to plan your garden and get the most out of your seeds.

What is the shelf life of these garden seeds?

Most seeds remain viable for 3 to 5 years or longer when stored properly. Check your seed packet for specific varieties. For best results, keep your seeds in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Store them in an airtight container in a consistent temperature environment—a refrigerator or cool basement works well. Proper storage helps maintain germination rates and extends seed life well beyond the packed date.

Where are Survival Garden Seeds sourced?

The majority of our seeds are sourced in the United States, with a few exceptions when the seed is difficult to source domestically. Whenever we do have to source outside of the US, we ensure our seeds are safe to grow, non-GMO, heirloom varieties that meet our standards for germination and reliability.
