Native Seeds

When Will Your Seeds Arrive?

Your seeds will be packaged and shipped as soon as possible after your order is placed.

Because mid-November through January are the ideal months to sow many native seeds, we receive many orders during this time. We ship orders on a rolling basis, and thank you for your patience as we strive to meet the high volume of orders that come in during our busy season.

About Our Seeds

  • We carry 75 species of wild-type and open-pollinated wildflowers, ferns, grasses and shrubs for a variety of growing conditions.

  • Staff and trained volunteers hand-collect, clean, and package all seeds from native gardens or private lands with owner permission in Maine. Wild Seed Project greatly appreciates our dedicated seed volunteers!

  • Out-of-stock species will be replenished as seeds are harvested, cleaned and packaged, typically between September through December.

  • Unless otherwise noted, each seed packet contains 50-100 seeds.
