Dry & Sunny Native Garden Kit - Short

Bring season-long color and textural interest to your landscape featuring low-growing native wildflowers nestled among the fine, airy foliage of Prairie Dropseed and Ivory Sedge. This 32 plant kit is the ideal solution for transforming tight spots into vibrant habitat. It is a perfect choice for framing a front walkway, softening the edges of a backyard deck, or serving as a low-maintenance focal point in a sunny, well-drained yard.

The flowers in this garden range from 6 inches to 3 feet in height, creating a natural, tiered effect that remains tidy and proportional for residential spaces.

Plants for this kit were selected to attract a variety of pollinators, butterflies - including monarchs, and are less likely for deer to browse.
