Native Seeds and Plants for Prairie, Wetland, Savanna and Woodland

“What a thousand acres of Silphiums 

looked like when they tickled the 

bellies of the buffalo is a question 

never again to be answered, and 

perhaps not even asked.” 

– Aldo Leopold, A Sand County Almanac (1949) 

Like Leopold, we can only behold the haunting vision of a 

thousand acres of Compass Plant (Silphium laciniatum) in 

our imaginations. The vast tallgrass prairie, which stunned 

the settlers with its seemingly endless expanse, is no more. 

But in nearly every county there remain bits and pieces 

of our prairie past, providing glimpses of the way things 

used to be. And even though 99% of our native prairie is 

gone, prairie remnants continue to disappear each year as 

“development” and neglect take a toll. 

It is therefore vitally important today that we protect 

this last fraction of a percent of our vanishing natural 

heritage. Preservation and restoration work, whether on 

Prairie, Wetland, Savanna or Woodland habitats, is so 

important. These plants are the teachers and the holders 

of the keys to understanding their ecosystems. Without 

the wisdom modeled by natural systems, restorationists 

would lack insight and direction. 

Nearly three decades ago Alan Wade and several of 

his friends began Prairie Moon Nursery, selling seeds 

and plants out of his Wiscoy Valley home. They were 

following in the footsteps of Alan’s parents, Doug and 

Dot Wade who started the first native plant nursery in 

Illinois in the 1970s. We continue to grow the ecotypes 

first collected by the Wades along with a wide range of 

ecotypes from across the upper Midwest. 

We are inspired and energized by our daily contact with 

so many individuals and organizations who share our 

passion for ecological preservation and restoration. 

We’re all learning how to better assist nature through 

all of our experiments, from tiny backyard plantings 

to multi-acre projects. Thank you for joining us in 

learning through growing.

Gentiana andrewsii—Bottle Gentian 

In Memoriam—Vic ormsby 

Prairie Moon lost a good friend, neighbor and nursery 

pioneer with the death last Sept. 10 of Vic ormsby. When 

Prairie Moon Nursery began in 1982, Vic was one of the 

first to join the endeavor, supplying energy and startup 

capital to help the new 

business succeed. 

A founding member of 

Wiscoy Valley Community 

Land Co-operative, Vic was 

a zealous organic vegetable 

gardener. His home-made 

wine and spirited dancing 

were highlights of many 

community gatherings. 

A committed social and ecological activist, Vic served on 

the boards and action committees of many organizations 

dedicated to soil and water quality and peace and justice. 

When Sharon ormsby, Vic’s wife of 44 years, chose 

thank-you gifts for friends who had helped the family, 

she was able to dig transplants from a beautiful stand 

of Bottle Gentians that Vic had planted years before 

near their owner-built home. The fruits of Vic’s labors, 

figurative and literal, will continue to blossom in our 

valley for many years to come.

A Guide to Native

Preserving What's Left, Cultivating a New Vision 

Butterfly Weed (Asclepias tuberosa) at Perrot State Park prairie before rain. 2009 Photo Contest Finalist—Scott Reber 

Through centuries of adaptations, native plant species 

have perfected their roles in the ecosystems in which 

they have evolved. They build soil, contributing to 

microbial and insect life underground; they provide 

food and shelter for native mammals, bees and other 

pollinators and birds. 

Habitat loss and urban sprawl appear inevitable, but 

imagine the positive impact if new developments 

included native flowers, trees and shrubs around new 

homes, sacrificing even a modest portion of what 

would be mowed lawn to a native rain garden or small 

prairie planting. Imagine the ecological improvement 

if the landscaping standard were the native Red Maple, 

not the invasive Norway Maple tree, or if native 

Columbine became widely recognized as a better 

hummingbird attractor than an Aquilegia cultivar.

Natives vs. Aliens 

Increasing public interest in native 

landscaping has generated more 

commercial activity, often fostering 

confusion over terms used to describe 

plants. At Prairie Moon Nursery we 

handle only native species, those 

indigenous to North America prior to 

european settlement. 

Some other companies, however, sell 

species advertised as ‘wildflowers’ that are 

alien species, originating outside North 

America. A few examples of naturalized 

aliens that should be avoided are oxeye 

(Shasta) Daisy, Bouncing Bet, Queen 

Anne’s Lace, Chicory, Dame’s Rocket, 

Bird’s Foot Trefoil, and Crown Vetch. 

The dangers of planting alien 

species have been well-documented. 

Their introduction has resulted in such 

tragedies as the loss of wetland plant 

communities to the aggressive dominant 

alien Purple Loosestrife (Lythrum 

salicaria) or the smothering of our North 

American woodland plants by the nonnative 

Garlic Mustard (Alliaria petiolata). 

Also entering the native plant trade 

are horticulturally selected species known 

as cultivars. In some cases the breeding 

selection is to favor certain characteristics 

such as uniformity of size and color or 

aggressiveness and heavy seed set. Cultivars 

may not have the genetic variety of their 

wild relatives, may be overly aggressive, 

or may deprive native pollinators of their 

traditional food sources. 

We believe that alien, naturalized 

species and cultivars should be avoided in 

restoration work and native landscaping, 

particularly when they might contaminate 

native gene pools. 

With the wide array of truly attractive 

native plants available, why degrade the 

environment with aggressive, weedy 

non-natives that don’t co-exist with 

native ecosystems? 

Terms & Concepts 

Some of the terminology you will find 

throughout this catalog may be new 

to you. Since our roots, literally and 

figuratively, are in prairie restoration, we 

use associated vegetation ecology terms 

such as forb and mesic soil. We also list all 

plants and seeds by their Genus/species 

name, also known as Latin or scientific 

name. This avoids the confusion that 

often arises when a plant carries several 

common names. 

Forbs, simply put, are wildflowers. The 

term forb is often used in vegetation 

ecology, specifically when describing 

flowering plants in a field, prairie or 

meadow that are not graminoids (grasses). 

Mesic Soil is medium-moisture soil. other 

soil moisture terms would be hydric (wet) 

and xeric (dry) soils. each species in the 

catalog is described with a five-point scale 

to indicate preference for soil moistureholding 

capacity. (See p.12) 

Sun Exposure: To describe the amount of 

sun in which a plant grows well, we don’t 

use terms like full sun or partial shade. We 

refer instead to the plant’s natural habitat: 

Prairie, Savanna or Woodland. (See p.12) 

Planting Time: While spring is often 

thought of as planting time, most native 

seeds should be planted outdoors in 

the fall because many have built-in 

dormancy mechanisms that prohibit 

germination until over-wintering occurs. 

We call this over-wintering process cold, 

moist stratification. (Learn more about 

Germination Codes on p.13) 

If you will be artificially stratifying, 

be aware that some of the seeds require 

relatively long stratification times (up 

to 120 days), so it is important to order 

these species early. 

Planning a Native 

Plant Community 

Planting a complete ecosystem, including 

forbs (wildflowers) and grasses, creates 

a more natural effect. once established, 

the dense, fibrous roots of the native 

grasses and forbs keep new weeds from 

finding a home. 

Where weeds may be a problem, select 

a taller, more aggressive mix of flowers 

and grasses. Heavy, rich soils support 

larger plants. Shorter species prefer drier 

habitats and thus can be difficult to 

establish in heavy soils. 

Diversity is the key to many native 

landscape requirements. All of our 

designed seed mixes (p.54-59) have species 

that bloom throughout the growing 

season, attracting birds, butterflies and 

other wildlife to your site all year. Diversity 

also will create structure or texture for 

your planting. once mature, it will have 

pockets of taller and shorter vegetation, 

giving your planting a natural appeal. 

For a more interesting landscape, 

intersperse different species as 

appropriate to create transition zones. 

If transitioning from one site condition 

to another–for example, from a dry to a 

wet area–combine portions of two sitespecific 

seed mixes and plant that blend 

for a transition zone. 

Well-designed plantings contain flowers 

that bloom throughout the season, from 

spring to fall, and provide different colors 

and textures. Many grasses are at their 

prime in late fall and continue to display 

interesting forms even in the dead of 

winter, when the flowers are gone.

landscaping 

with Natives 

Increasingly, designers of landscapes for homes, businesses 

and community areas are choosing native plant species due to 

their beauty, hardiness and reputation for being relatively lowmaintenance, 

once established. Native plants improve soil, attract 

wildlife, survive droughts and floods, and thrive in a variety of 

sun and soil conditions. 

Cultivating natives near your home can afford aesthetic 

satisfaction as well as the delight of discovery inherent in the 

process of restoration. 

In this catalog, look for species marked by a *(Highly 

recommened for home landscaping) or **(Recommended but 

aggressive or rhizomatous) in the comments column.

preferences for the 600+ native species 

that we offer. These pages showcase 

native species that seem be particularly 

resourceful and adaptive and therefore 

can flourish in a wide range of growing 

conditions. If you want to get started 

planting with natives, these are certain to 

do well in a wide variety of situations.

Underappreciated Natives 

With so many dazzling beauties among the 600+ native species 

that we carry, it’s understandable that many worthy plants remain 

in the shadows around the spotlights. These pages feature species 

that we feel deserve more attention. 

Taenidia integerrima—Yellow Pimpernel (p.36) 

For prairie to woodland sun exposure. Provides delicate yellow 

umbels through the heat of the summer. 

Camassia scilloides—Wild Hyacinth (p.18) 

After flowering in spring they go dormant for rest 

of the year. Camassias transplant best in fall. 

Penstemon calycosus—Calico Beardtongue (p.30) 

Similar shape as Penstemon digitalis but can take 

more shade and has pink flowers. 

Agoseris cuspidata—Prairie Dandelion (p.14) 

Difficult from seed, best to buy bare-root plants. 

Don't be frightened by the word Dandelion! 

Porteranthus stipulatus—Western Indian Physic (p.32) 

Beautiful flowers now, beautiful fall foliage later! 

Aster oblongifolius—Aromatic Aster (p.16) 

Forms 2' round clumps covered with flowers. 

Difficult from seed, best to buy bare-root plants. 

one of the last Asters to bloom in fall. 

Oxalis violacea—Violet Wood Sorrel (p.29) 

For full or partial sun and drier soils; an easy 

plant to grow as long as tall vegetation doesn't 

overwhelm it. 

Ruellia humilis—Wild Petunia (p.32) 

Self-seeds readily. Seedpods explode, throwing 

seeds 10 feet! Nice to mix with other short species 

Viola pedatifida—Prairie Violet (p.38) 

6” plant is too well-behaved for ground cover, but goes nicely in dry rock gardens. 

Cassia hebecarpa—Wild Senna (p.20) 

Yellow flowers will be covered by bees. The nutritious legume seeds are a favorite for wild Turkeys. 

Sanguisorba canadensis—American Burnet (p.32) 

Common in eastern U.S. our seed came from the most western 

known population in illinois. late fall bloomer.

We're excited about this 

offering by Bill Cullina. 

As usual, he presents 

clear and detailed 

information on growing and propagating. 

Also great for identification; something that 

can be difficult to do with native grasses.

Native plants are perfectly suited to rain gardens because of their 

variety, beauty and complex root systems, some extending twenty 

feet below the surface. Soils with native plants can absorb many 

inches of rainfall per day, dramatically reducing contaminated 

runoff into streets, gutters, sewer systems and fragile waterways.

oN THe Cover: Students from Ridgeway 

Community School accompany Steve 

through a tallgrass prairie with a diversity of 

species, including Big Bluestem, Prairie Dock 

and Sneezeweed. The students visited on a 

September field trip from their school, just a few 

miles up the road from Prairie Moon Nursery, 

to learn about prairie plants and even to harvest 

some seed themselves. Like many schools, 

Ridgeway is establishing a prairie planting on school grounds. Planting 

natives at schools provides an environmentally friendly landscape that 

encourages visits from birds and butterflies, affording an educational and 

enchanting setting for students to explore. Photo by Wayne Beezley

Detention Basin Mix 

For rainwater runoff detention basins. 

A selection of species designed to 

tolerate fluctuating water levels and 

poor water quality. High diversity 

allows changes in species composition 

from the wetter bottom area to the 

dryer slopes. Also, species composition 

can successfully change with series of 

wet or dry years. For dryer areas above 

high water level, use a different mix 

suitable for your site conditions. 

Included with this mix is a cover crop 

of Barnyard Grass (1 lb. per acre).

Mixes for 

Large Areas 

If you are planning a larger 

or unique planting with a 

budget of at least $200, Prairie 

Moon can help you design a 

seed mix customized to your 

site conditions, budget and 

preferences. There is no extra 

charge for this service. 

Consider these 4 variables 

when planning: 

1. Planting Size 

(1 acre = 43,560 sq feet) 

2. Sun Exposure (See p.12) 

3. Soil Moisture (See p.12) 

4. Desired Height 

(Short, Mixed Height or Tall) 

Please note: Short prairie mixes establish 

well on well-drained sites but may fail in 

nutrient-rich or weedy areas. 

Native plant communities 

provide the inspiration for 

Prairie Moon’s seed mix designs. 

Beyond applying seed counts, 

we carefully consider how 

quickly various species become 

established and how competitive 

they are with surrounding 

vegetation. Professional 

landscapers have come to rely 

on our designs to give their 

customers the right plants for 

their needs. Prairie Moon has 

the diversity of species and the 

experience of working with these 

plants to be able to design the 

best mix possible.

Growing Your 

Prairie 

establishing a Native Plant Community 

Nature makes it look simple and beautiful, but the many complicated 

human decisions and actions required to establish a successful native 

plant community can prove daunting, even to more experienced 

gardeners or landscapers. This guide seeks to make this process simpler 

by discussing it as an eight-step endeavor. Since it is not possible to cover 

all of the variables here, we encourage you to study this section carefully, 

apply it to your project, and then call us with questions. one-on-one 

conversation is the most efficient way to address the complexities of 

specific site conditions and plans. 

ABove, riGHT: Amorpha canescens—Lead Plant (p.40), Petalostemum (Dalea) candidum—White Prairie Clover (p.30), Eryngium yuccifolium—Rattlesnake Master (p.22) 

Step 1: Assess Your Site 

Learn as much as you can about the site you’ve chosen for your 

planting. What is its sun exposure? What is the quality of the soil 

and how long does it hold moisture? Is erosion a problem? What 

is growing there now? Determine the size of your planting by 

pacing or measuring the area. Length in feet multiplied by width 

in feet equals area in square feet. 43,560 square feet = one acre. 

Step 2: Define Your objectives 

What do you hope to accomplish with your project? We 

recommend designing a native plant community to emulate 

the high diversity of interdependent or complementary species 

found in thriving natural ecosystems. 

Considerations that are specific to your site requirements or 

aesthetic vision will determine your best plan. For example, if your site 

already has a significant number of native species present, you might 

consider simply enhancing it by inter-seeding or transplanting bareroot 

plants of appropriate diverse species into the remnant population. 

A combination of seeding and transplanting may be most effective. 

If your site is overgrown with brush or scrub trees or 

dominated by invasive species, it is a more likely candidate for 

restoration than rehabilitation. This will require more aggressive 

site preparation and extensive planning. 

Step 3: Set Your Budget 

Realism is a critical component of the planting process. Knowing 

your limitations can greatly increase your project’s likelihood 

of success. Determine early what you are able to devote to 

your planting in terms of time, energy and money. A realistic 

appraisal may lead you to an incremental approach, planting in 

stages over several seasons. We can give you better advice and 

recommendations if you know your project budget when you call. 

Step 4: Plan Your Native Plant 

Community 

Choose native species that are appropriate to the sun exposure, 

soil type and moisture level of your site. We have pre-designed 

seed mixes for many different habitat conditions and several 

Midwest regions (see pp.54-59). We can help you choose the 

correct mix for your site conditions. We also can help design a 

special custom mix. We charge no extra for designing custom 

mixes that are valued over two hundred dollars. We do charge a 

fee for designing and assembling very small mixes. 

Planning a Native Plant Community: p.5 

Step 5: Prepare the Site 

eliminating competition and correct seedbed preparation 

are early steps that are essential to the success of your native 

planting. Consider devoting an entire growing season (or two) 

to addressing your site’s weed problems before planting. It may 

try your patience, but it can greatly accelerate the long-term 

establishment of your native species. 

Learn to identify the common weeds in your area. Undesirable 

shrubs, small trees and non-native plants and weeds should 

be destroyed by hand cultivation or selective application of 

herbicides. If a controlled spring burn is an option for your site, 

it can help to eliminate brush cover and some undesirables. 

Do not underestimate the weed seed bank potential of your 

soil. The weed seed bank holds the accrued deposits of dormant 

weed seeds that have been falling on the soil, sometimes for 

decades. There often are thousands of weed seeds in each square 

foot of soil. Their dormancy can be broken by optimal soil 

temperature and a brief exposure to light. If the area you are 

planting already is dominated by weeds, you should consider an 

aggressive site preparation regime. 

Choose a preparation strategy that is suited to your site and 

circumstances, one that you can fully execute. Consider the pros 

and cons of the different approaches discussed below. It is not 

possible for us to address every situation here. Please call us if 

you need more specific advice. 

CUlTivATiNG UNwANTeD PlANTS 

Any soil disturbance is followed by more weed growth, so cultivation

like Canada thistle, may not yield to cultivation. 

Weeding with hand tools is best suited to small areas. For 

larger areas, cultivating with conventional farm machinery 

can be an effective way to eliminate established perennial 

weeds from rich, heavy soils. If your large site was previously 

a cropped farm field (therefore free of perennial weeds) or if 

it contains deep sand or gravel soils that do not support heavy 

weed growth, several diskings prior to sowing seed may be all 

the cultivation needed. 

For more common, weed-prone soils, cultivation of large sites 

should begin with fall plowing. If the soil is subject to erosion, 

however, defer the initial plowing until spring. When soil can 

be worked the following spring, cultivate with a disk to a depth 

of four to five inches. Cultivate every two weeks until fall in an 

effort to destroy the roots of perennial weeds. 

For quack grass or other rhizomatous species, follow the 

initial disking with a spring-tooth harrow or digger to bring 

roots to the soil surface, where sunlight and drying will kill them. 

After all weed roots are dead, switch to shallow cultivations timed 

to eliminate freshly germinated weed seedlings. 

Repeated shallow cultivations one or two inches deep through 

two growing seasons can deplete the shallow weed seed bank 

without exposing weed seeds from deeper in the soil. 

If you are planting your large site to native species in the 

fall, use a harrow or drag to produce a smooth, clod-free seed 

bed. If your soil is subject to erosion, consider deferring your 

planting until spring and first plant a winter cover crop in the 

fall. In spring, several shallow cultivations will eliminate the 

winter cover crop and any freshly germinated weeds. After a 

final dragging, the soil will be ready to plant. Another option is 

explained under the heading “Seeding erosion-Prone Sites.” 

• Early establishment of warm season grasses can be inhibited. 

• Cool season weeds become competition for new seedlings in spring. 

• Erosion prone sites need cover crop seeding which is earlier and 

separate from the native sowing. 

• Early establishment of warm season grasses can be inhibited.

• Clay soil is more difficult to work with. 

• Need of additional early mowing May 15 to June 7. 

• More watering is needed especially if you cold moist stratify the seed. 

• Delayed (1yr) germination for those forbs and sedges which 

require cold moist stratification or over wintering. 


SMoTHeriNG NUiSANCe PlANTS 

For preparing sites smaller than a few thousand square feet, 

smothering weeds can be effective. It is a simple technique that 

requires no chemicals or special equipment. 

The idea behind smothering is simple: A plant can’t live 

without sunlight, so covering the soil surface for a full growing 

season will kill the unwanted plants underneath. Some weeds 

need to be covered for two years. Smothering a lawn takes less 

time; usually it can be killed in two months by a close mowing 

before covering. 

Black plastic is a common choice for a smothering material, 

but it has a tendency to deteriorate over time. It may blow away 

if not properly anchored and can be punctured by sharp weed 

debris left underneath. 

More economical choices might be salvaged or recycled wood 

paneling or industrial-weight tarps. other suitable materials 

include newspapers or cardboard covered with leaves or grass 

clippings. old carpeting works, too, but if left too long can decay 

and become difficult to remove. While smothering will eliminate 

plants, a large weed seed bank may remain. 

HerBiCiDe APPliCATioN 

We at Prairie Moon take seriously the issue of agricultural 

chemical use. We are proud of our organic farming legacy but we 

also view the responsible and judicious use of herbicides as an 

effective tool for native ecosystem establishment. 

We are not experts on herbicide use, so we are reluctant 

to give specific instructions. Always read labels on herbicide 

products and follow the manufacturer’s directions and cautions 

when working with these powerful chemicals. A number of new, 

“lower-impact” herbicide formulas have appeared on the market 

in recent years. If you are interested in an herbicide designed 

to be less toxic to the user and to the environment, consider 

researching the alternative products now available. (See p.70 for 

more information). 

Herbicides are absorbed by plants during their active growing 

cycles. For large-area site preparation, herbicides can be very 

effective. The most common are glyphosphates. If perennial 

weeds or woody shrubs and vines are a problem, then a broadleaf 

herbicide such as 2, 4-D may be mixed with the glyphosphate. 

A successful herbicide strategy must be two-pronged, 

designed to eliminate existing weeds and to deplete the soil’s 

weed seed bank by killing successive “blooms” of weeds. 

vTreatments should be customized to the specific site conditions. 

Farm fields that have been growing corn or beans may need only 

one glyphosphate treatment in late spring, just prior to planting. 

old fields that have been “let go” and have heavy weed 

populations may need several years of regular spraying. 

Beginning site preparation with a controlled burn in spring 

can help to expose weed seeds and spur germination. If your 

weeds already are several feet tall and you cannot start with a 

burn, begin by cutting or mowing the vegetation to about one 

foot in height. Apply herbicide after the plants begin growing 

again. In two or three weeks, you can follow the initial die-off 

with a controlled burn. 

However you start, you will need to apply herbicide three 

or four times in a growing season, waiting six to eight weeks 

between treatments. Sometimes this is all that’s needed before 

planting in the fall. If you plant the following spring, apply 

another treatment in late spring, about a week before seeding. 

SeeDiNG iNTo live or DeAD SoD 

Dormant season inter-seeding into established mowed stands 

of cool-season grasses is one alternative to planting on bare 

cultivated soil. Its advantages include less site preparation, fewer 

weeds and better control of erosion on slopes. 

Not killing existing vegetation may slow your planting’s 

progress by several years, but the wait may be worthwhile, 

especially if you are inter-seeding an area that already has 

desirable plants. For quicker results, one or two herbicide 

applications to the sod can reduce competition but often leads 

to increased weeds. Sites with low-growing grasses, especially 

with poor soils, can be seeded without killing the grass. For 

taller, aggressive grasses, such as reed canary grass, herbicides 

are needed. overall, our experience has shown that not spraying 

out the existing grasses, such as brome and blue grass, results in 

dramatically fewer weeds. It has become our preferred method of 

installation. These plantings should be burned every spring for 

the first 5-7 years. 

Large areas can be seeded easily with a Truax drill, a tractorpulled 

seeding machine, with a no-till trash plow. Sites to be 

hand sown must be raked by hand to expose just enough bare 

soil for good seed contact. 

SeeDiNG eroSioN-ProNe SiTeS 

Hillsides and other erodible areas are good candidates for 

restoration with native plants because deep-rooted native 

perennials hold soil firmly in place once they are established. 

Since erodible areas cannot be left bare for extended periods, it is 

difficult to prepare such sites by eliminating existing vegetation. 

Repeated herbicide applications on erodible sites can attack 

the weeds but leave their dead root material to hold the soil. 

All-Natural Herbicide, Inoculum, Cover Crops and more: pp.69-70 

once an erosion-prone site is cultivated, it should be planted 

with a cover crop or a native seed mix with cover crop. Do not 

cultivate if it’s too late in the fall to establish a cover crop. 

Finish your site preparation by mid- to late summer, then 

establish a cover crop before planting your native mix in the fall. 

Sow a crop of oats between August 15 and September 15. A hard 

freeze will kill the oats in late fall. 

In late october, hand seed a native mix into the standing oats. Do 

not rake or drag. Frost action will work the seed into the soil surface. 

The dead oats will mat during the winter, helping to prevent soil 

erosion and providing good conditions for spring germination.

Step 6: Sow the Seeds 

If seed is sown untreated in the spring, some species will not 

germinate until the following spring after wintering over.

Seeds can be planted in the fall, spring or dead of winter. 

See the “When to Plant” chart on p.61 for a list of the pros and 

cons of each season. 

Fall planting in the Upper Midwest begins in mid-october. 

Native grass seed sown earlier may germinate in ten days in 

unseasonably warm weather. If this occurs, seedlings may be 

winter-killed. 

Frost-seeding during snow-free winter periods works well on 

prepared sites. Seed can be hand-broadcast or machine-planted 

on the soil surface with no tillage. Freezing and thawing will mix 

the seed with the soil. This also is an effective method of adding 

new species to established plantings. Seed can be sown into snow 

on warmer days when it can melt into the snow pack. 

Mid-May to mid-June is the optimal time for spring seeding. 

Since most native grasses germinate readily then, spring plantings 

often are dominated in their early years by grasses and those forbs 

that don’t require moist cold stratification or wintering over. 

Moist stratifying forb seed, (see Germination Code C on page 

13) before spring planting will improve germination during the 

first year, but we recommend it only if the site can be irrigated. 

PlANTiNG 

Seeds can be hand-broadcasted or sown with mechanical seeders. 

Neither technique is appropriate for all plantings and each has 

unique advantages and drawbacks. Both methods may be needed 

to plant certain sites. 

BY HAND 

Since one person can seed about one acre in a day, hand-broad 

casting is practical only for areas of one or two acres or smaller, 

unless a large planting crew is available. Broadcast-seeding a prairie 

is much like planting lawn seed. Hand-cranked cyclone seeders will 

not work well with native seed mixes, since the larger seeds tend to 

plug the device while the smaller seeds flow too quickly. 

even distribution is an important seeding goal. Scatter seed 

slowly, trying not to run out before completely covering the 

site. To improve distribution, increase the volume of what you 

are broadcasting by adding to your seed mix a filler material 

such as moistened sawdust, compost, peat moss or coarse-grade 

vermiculite. Sand can be used for very small plantings but is too 

heavy for large areas. 

Use one-half to one bushel of filler per 1000 square feet. A 

bushel equals eight gallons or 1.24 cubic feet. If seeding a large 

area, use six or more bushels per acre. 

Dividing your planting area and seed mix into smaller parts 

can facilitate even seed distribution. Mark off areas of an acre or 

less into four equal parts, and larger areas into ten or more zones. 

Divide your seed mix into the same number of portions. Any small 

spots missed when sowing seed will fill in as the planting matures. 

Hand-planting allows great flexibility. Specific mixes for 

different areas of the planting can add variety and interest. Spot 

sowing can allow controlled placement of showy or larger species. 

Hand-seeding in spring or summer should be followed by a light 

raking. on areas too large to rake by hand, use a tractor, truck or 

other vehicle to pull a farm drag set to a shallow cut. 

BY MACHiNe 

Drill seeders and drop seeders are the machines most commonly 

used for larger plantings. Drill seeders, including Truax and Tye, 

plant seeds in rows as they open a slit in the soil. They are good 

choices for planting old pastures because they do not require the 

soil to be worked up before planting. If equipped with a no-till 

attachment, drill seeders can plant sites with existing vegetation. 

Drop seeders, including Brillion with brush attachment, 

should be used only on cultivated soil. They press the dropped 

seed into the ground with a roller, so the soil must be freshly 

cultivated to ensure good seed-to-soil contact.

PACKiNG THe SiTe 

Native seeds require firm contact with the soil; without it, 

germination and seedling survival will be poor. Packing or 

rolling the newly seeded area firms the soil around the seed and 

reduces moisture loss, especially important on light, sandy soils. 

Furthermore, many weed species grow faster in loose soil. 

Packing fall or frost plantings is not necessary since snow 

and rain will have time to settle the soil before seed germination 

begins in spring. Spring plantings will need packing if soil is 

loose from cultivation. 

As a general guideline, if walking on the soil compacts it more 

than half an inch, the soil is too loose and will need packing after 

seeds have been machine-planted or raked in after hand-sowing. 

This can be done by using your feet on small areas. Mediumsized 

areas can be packed by driving back and forth with a 

vehicle. Larger areas can be packed with a farm implement called 

a culti-packer. If the soil has been deeply cultivated, it may need 

to be packed both before and after planting. 

wATeriNG 

Fall plantings don’t need to be watered but spring plantings 

can be helped by irrigation if conditions are dry. Keeping the 

topsoil moist for three to six weeks after planting will enhance 

germination. After this, occasional deep watering will stimulate 

good root growth. A general guideline through a planting’s first 

year is to give a good soaking (half-inch) if rain has not occurred 

for a week. Very sandy areas should be watered more often. 

Watering will not be necessary in the second year, except 

during extreme drought. In later years, a drought actually may be 

beneficial to your native planting by eliminating shallow-rooted 

exotic species. 

Step 7: Control the Weeds 

Weed control is critical during the first few years of a newly 

planted native plant community. Persistent effort is the main 

feature of the management techniques described below. 

Herbicides at this stage should be used only as a last resort. 

MowiNG 

Maintenance mowing through the first growing season will 

prevent quick-growing weeds from excessively shading the new 

native seedlings. Hand-held string trimmers are ideal tools for 

small areas or sites that are too steep to mow. 

Mow each time weed growth reaches 8-10 inches. Cut 

everything to a height of 4-5 inches. Don’t worry about trimming 

the tops of native seedlings or crushing them underfoot. Mow 

frequently to keep cutting debris reduced so that it doesn’t 

smother desirable seedlings. 

Mowing Yellow Sweet Clover in full flower when it is too thick to hand-weed. 

Stop mowing at the end of the first season. Remove any weed 

seed heads but don’t be concerned with additional vegetative 

growth. It can help protect native plants through winter by 

providing plant litter and catching snow. This helps to insulate 

the soil, reducing the risk of plant loss from frost heaving. 

If weeds are thick in the beginning of the second season, mow 

or spot-mow once or twice. Raise the cutting height to 6-12 inches. 

HAND-weeDiNG 

During the first year of a native planting, any soil disturbance 

runs the risk of killing tiny native seedlings and spurring 

germination of weed seeds. This is why we discourage pulling 

weeds while the natives are getting established. 

If aggressive or noxious weeds are present, though, it is better 

to control them before they spread. For problem situations, 

a diligent weeding program should begin during a planting’s 

second season. 

Learn about the weeds that are common to your locale. Learn 

their growth habits and how to distinguish them from the young 

native forbs and grasses that you have planted. 

In Prairie Moon’s fields, we don’t worry about hand-cultivating 

annual weeds because they usually disappear as the planting matures 

and native forbs and grasses dominate. We hand-pull problem 

biennial weeds, most easily after a good rain when the soil is soft. 

Permanently removing weeds from the planting and preventing 

re-seeding are the objectives. Many weeds if cut can sprout again, 

flower and produce seeds that same year, so they must be pulled. 

one exception is Canada thistle, a rhizome-forming perennial 

whose roots are impossible to pull completely. We cut this plant 

at ground level when it is in the bud or early flower stage; rarely 

does it grow enough to flower again that same year. Likewise, sweet 

clover rarely re-sprouts after being cut at ground level in full flower 

(see photo above). We use a hand tool called a weed hook and, for 

larger infestations, a string-trimmer with a blade attachment. 

Diligent weeding during a planting’s first two to three years can 

reduce aggressive weed species to a manageable level, but annual 

vigilance will be necessary to prevent new problem weed flare-ups. 

THe lAST reSorT 

Avoid spraying herbicides in native plantings! Aerosol drift from 

spraying can kill desirable plants and leave dead areas that will 

be vulnerable to new weed infiltration. If you encounter a weed 

problem that stubbornly resists other control techniques, try the 

following methods as a last resort. 

Mix a strong solution of glyphosphate or other appropriate 

herbicide in a no-spill container. Wear a pair of rubber gloves 

and pull over them a pair of absorbent cotton gloves. Cutting 

the tips of the cotton glove’s fingers can help the fit. Saturate the 

cotton glove with the herbicide solution, squeezing out the excess 

so that it doesn’t drip. Grab the leaves and stem of the targeted 

weed, applying the herbicide to that plant only. Do not touch 

adjacent desirable plants or they will be killed. 

Another tactic with stubborn weeds such as burdock and 

Canada goldenrod is a wick-type application of glyphosphate. 

Use a small paintbrush to carefully apply the herbicide to the 

plant’s cut stalk. The same treatment can be used on Canada 

thistle, but a stronger chemical may be needed. 

Use these methods with great caution and only on cooler, 

windless days. Herbicides volatilize on hot days. even a light 

breeze can blow a killing mist onto adjacent plants. 

Step 8: Long-Term Management 

Most native plantings, after two or three growing seasons, need 

to be burned annually for the next five or more years to become 

well established. Burning yields better growth and more flowers. 

Mature prairies with no weed problems may need burning only 

once every three years. 

When a large planting reaches seven years, it can be divided 

into three sections with mowed paths between them. Burn a 

different section each year, thereby protecting over-wintering 

butterflies and other insects. 

If a planting is not periodically burned, a thatch layer can 

build up over the years, causing some native species to grow 

poorly or even to die out completely. Burning is the single most 

important management practice for native plantings. 

Burning in March or April will stimulate growth of native 

plants and give them a competitive edge over weeds. Always use 

caution and common-sense when burning. Follow local fire 

regulations, obtain permits and have plenty of tools and help on 

hand. For more detailed information, we recommend the booklet 

How to Manage Small Prairie Fires by Wayne R. Pauly (below). 

More good burning information is available from the Prairie 

enthusiasts, www.theprairieenthusiasts.org. 

Always plan fire safety into plantings, even if you will not be 

using burn management. Prairie fires, accidental or intentional, 

can burn very rapidly during spring or fall dormancy. Use 

existing features, such as roads, driveways, streams, lakes and 

mowed lawns, as firebreaks. 

Include a wide path around the perimeter as well as paths 

through your planting. We advise a mowed lawn buffer at least 40 

feet wide between buildings and prairie.

If burning is not permitted at your site or if you prefer not to use 

this method, you can mow or manually remove thatch in early 

spring (late February to mid-April). Last year’s dead stems will 

not hide the new growth and flowers, and the sun’s rays still will 

be able to warm the soil.

Cover Crops 

Cover crops serve several purposes. A site that is 

being prepared by cultivation for planting natives 

the following year may be subject to soil erosion. 

If so, a cover crop planted in the late summer will 

help hold soil in place. If only a cover crop is being 

planted, a heavy seeding is recommended. A cover 

crop planted with native seed requires a much 

lower seeding rate. See www.prairiemoon.com/ 

other-products/cover-crops for seeding rates. 

Native seedlings are difficult to identify during 

the first growing season, so a cover crop (which is 

easily identified) is a good success indicator. If the 

cover crop has germinated and is growing well, 

the native seed mix should also be fine even if you 

cannot see it. If heavy rain or other disturbance 

has occurred, the missing cover crop will show 

areas requiring reseeding. 

A good cover crop is oats, which can be planted 

with prairie seed to stabilize the soil. This annual 

plant grows rapidly, and if not seeded too heavily, 

will not complete with the forbs (wildflowers) and 

grasses. An oats cover crop will not reseed itself. 

Another cover crop is Regreen, a wheat/ 

wheatgrass hybrid that produces a sterile plant. 

After it dies out, it does not leave a new generation 

of plants behind to compete with the slowergrowing 

perennial species. Regreen is a highly 

versatile temporary cover crop that can be planted 

in either the spring or fall in most climates. 

You may be able to purchase oats or winter 

wheat from local farm seed dealers for lower 

prices. If so, be sure there is no weed seed 

contamination listed on the label. 

Inoculum 

Rhizobium Inoculum for Legumes 

The following legume inoculums are important 

for improving the chance of nitrogen fixation. 

Most legume seed purchased from Prairie Moon 

Nursery comes with inoculum at no additional 

charge when available. We suggest mixing 

inoculum with seed before moist, cold stratifying 

or planting (see Germination Codes C & I on 

p.13 for more information). Inoculum may also 

be added to potting mix for container grown 

plants or into bottom of hole when transplanting 

container grown or bare root seedlings.

Soil (Moisture) 

W Wet Soggy or marshy most of the year. 

WM Wet Mesic 

excessively wet in winter, spring, and after 

heavy rain, but often dries in summer. 

M Mesic Medium. Water soaks in with no run-off. 

DM Dry Mesic 

Well drained. Water is removed from soil 

readily, but not rapidly 

D Dry excessively drained. 

Sun (exposure) 

P Prairie 

Plants normally grow in full sun. Should do 

well with up to 20% shade. 

Partially shaded (20% to 70% shade). Sun 

reaches ground level at woodland edges or 

S Savanna through openings between trees. Prairie species 

will often grow in larger openings, with 

shade-tolerant species growing under trees. 

W Woodland 70% to 100% shade.
