This page has information on seeds and answers to frequently asked questions - to help you grow seeds with ease!

I offer a variety of native and naturalised wildflower seeds, freely collected in their wild habitats in Newfoundland. Whether gathered in natural or disturbed areas, local plants offer a remarkable opportunity to enhance the biodiversity and beauty of our surroundings. Not only this, flowers of any kind are very attractive and wild plants can be used for a variety of purposes beyond their appearance.

These seeds are sourced from plants that have evolved and adapted to the specific ecological conditions of their regions over countless generations. Seeds both native to Newfoundland and naturalised to the tougher climate of Eastern Canada.

Wildflowers and plants attract and support native pollinators!

Are these seeds of invasive species? - Species are native or naturalised to Newfoundland. Some provinces or countries may however consider some invasive or noxious.

If you are unsure, check the VASCAN for species distribution in your area in Canada.

~

Are seeds treated? - No, all seeds are untreated. Seeds are gathered and separated from non-seed material and dried, then stored.

~

What are some general tips to help germination? - Seeds offered are native and naturalised to Newfoundland and many parts of eastern Canada, in a hardiness zone of 5. The climates in these areas are colder than most other parts of Canada and the U.S., so they do not need special heat or light requirements. Germination can be accelerated with indoor starting, similar to garden vegetables/flowers.
