Just FYI for anyone who is interested in supporting bees, butterflies, birds, etc., these are likely not the right plant packages for you.
Most of the plants offered are not native to the U.S. (Liatris spicata is native to parts of the U.S.- but I would question whether you really want/need 40-80 of them.)
While some native bees/pollinators are generalists and can eat from any nectar source, the ones that are most at risk are the ones that need specific, native plants, to eat or for hosting their eggs.

Check out https://homegrownnationalpark.org/ as a good starting point. Also google "native plants " for local organizations that can tell you what plants are needed in your area and where to find them. You can also look up plants at https://www.wildflower.org/plants-main
And if you find other people in your area who geek out on native plants, they will likely have some to share.

Finally, for what it's worth, I've gotten amazing deals (at various times of the year):
- Seeds from https://www.prairiemoon.com/seeds/ (you can "winter sow" many of them)
- Plugs from https://www.thepollennation.com/ or https://www.izelplants.com/
- bluestone perennials has some 50% sales right now- only some of their plants are native, but just fyi
Etc. Particularly if you are looking for lots and lots of small plants, you can find good deals. I got some AMAZING deals at https://midatlanticnatives.com/ a month ago-- high quality bare roots (similar to bulbs) for $1-2 each by buying 25 when they were on clearance.

It is SO FUN to have a native plant garden- less maintenance and more pollinators. Realize this isn't for everyone, but wanted to share info for anyone who is doing it for the flora and fauna! (This is what I wish someone explained to me 5+ years ago!)
Got 200 bulbs for $.25 more and FREE SHIPPING here:

If you care which bulbs you get you'll want to look at the details in the woot and overstock pages since they differ.

woot:
Includes 30 Anemone Blanda, 20 Gladiolus Mixed, 20 Allium Moly, 30 Ixia Mixed

overstock:
40 Liatris Spicata, 30 Anemone Blanda, 20 Gladiolus Mixed and 10 Lilium Mixed

Are these for people with fully fenced backyards that don't need to worry about deer? They seem to ruin everything we plant where we live.

Not sure where you are, but Black-eyed susans (Rudbeckia spp.), milkweed (Asclepias spp.), Bee balm (Monarda spp.), and a lot of native sunflowers (Helianthus spp.) are somewhat resistant to deer. I think purple coneflowers (Echinacea purpurea) do pretty well too. Packera aurea (golden groundsel) is evergreen, has bright gold flowers in the spring, and the deer seem to ignore it. (At least here in the mid-atlantic US)

delivery estimates:
overstock - jun 2
woot - jun 3-7
Both dates are too late for most planting zones for summer bulbs. Hopefully they will make it to next year.
That's likely the reason for the sale price.

You're awesome! I have 10 acres of practically bare land that I want to replace the grass and weeds with more useful stuff. I also want to do a permaculture food forest, but baby steps. I have tried for two years now to throw random 'native' seeds out but it just doesn't seem to be working. For ten acres, you can't just buy tons of individual plants Frown I just need a giant bag of random native seeds, it'd make my life so much easier.
Glad to see other like minded people!!

Just a few cents more, but identical to what you can get at the dollar store as well.<br />

If you happen to be in the Md/DC area, let me know. I've got "sources" ;-)
And if you haven't, check out seed sites like prairie moon nursery (there are tons of other ones too). In addition to selling seeds, they have advice for how to do it. E.g. you can put black plastic or landscape fabric down now to kill the grass and other weeds and then put down seed in the fall (overwintering helps with germination). Or the "lasagna method" with cardboard.
You can also do "winter sowing" in milk jugs to help with germination and then replant the seedlings in the spring. (altho probably still too much work for 10 acres!!)
Good luck!

Will they keep until next year? I would assume so with maybe a small % of failures.

Quote from cravi5 :
Sorry I can't answer, but I can tell you that i believe things have been delayed in NE due to cold weather.

I was told at garden center that some ppl planted stuff like they usually do from previous years, but they had issues because of the unusually cold weather we had into early May (not counting this past weekend which was a scorcher).

All that to say, I'm not sure, but I think planting times got "pushed" a bit.

I would love to get this but my kids are terrified of bees. Makes it difficult to enjoy our yard 😞

Don't believe what you hear in news. DC area had 96F last week. Just kidding. It is better to get them exposed to bees in your garden rather than some park.
