Wildflowers, Engineered To Succeed.
Wildflower seed shaker
Easy to see. Easy to scatter.
Prepared for success: GermiSync™ Treated & Pelleted
Smooth Aster is a dependable native wildflower that produces masses of lavender-blue blooms late in the season, providing an important source of nectar for butterflies, bees, and other pollinators. Germination can be slow and uneven under natural conditions. Each seed is treated with GermiSync™ to help trigger germination and formed into a visible seed pellet for easier planting and more reliable establishment.
Covers 30 sq. ft.

RAKE
Clear away weeds and debris, then rake the soil until it’s loose and fluffy. Good prep helps the seeds make proper contact with the soil.
SHAKE
Shake pellets directly from the seed shaker. Because each pellet contains a single seed, spacing stays even and planting is controlled.
PRESS
Walk over the area or press the pellets into the soil with your hands or feet. This helps keep them in place and improves seed-to-soil contact.
WATER
Keep the soil consistently moist for the first 14 days to kickstart germination.
