Wild About Flowers is a supplier of Native Perennial Wildflowers and Grasses. We collect our wildflower seed in Alberta and grow our plants out of doors to produce year-old plugs that are in tune with the growing season and able to be planted out from April to October. Our Points to Ponder section contains points to consider when planning a wildflower garden or naturalization project and information to help you have a "Greener" garden. Our Plant Information Pages will aid you in making the right plant selections for your growing conditions and soil type. Don't miss our Growing Information section to access tips on site preparation, planting and aftercare.

Native Wildflowers are perfect for xeriscaping, acreage landscapes, gardening, naturalizing projects, commercial sites and site reclamation. The variety of wildflowers and grasses in this region provides us with a wide selection of hardy, drought tolerant perennials that are biologically acclimatized to our variable climate. These native plants are beautiful, diverse and add much of the colorful under-story to the fall landscape. Their ability to survive and prosper with little assistance and no chemical intervention make them an obvious solution to maintenance issues, water constraints and environmental concerns.

Native perennials and grasses offer eco-friendly alternatives to traditionally labour intensive, chemically laden, water dependant gardening and landscaping practices. Native plants are naturally acclimatized to local precipitation patterns and temperature extremes. They do not require fertilizers to be vigorous and healthy, are able to survive without supplementary watering and are naturally pest and disease resistant. When wildflowers and grasses are used in conjunction to create naturalized spaces, together they have a complementary root system that works to slow down and choke out unwanted plant material creating chemical-free, sustainable weed control. Naturalization of low usage areas will almost eliminate the need to mow, significantly reducing labour and emissions. Experts say that the single greatest threat to biodiversity in Canada and around the world is the loss of wildlife habitat; naturalization also creates much needed habitat for wildlife and a beautiful view for us.

So grow a little wild and support your environment!
