In collaboration with the Xerces Society of Invertebrate Conservation we developed and continue to produce a wildflower and grass mix that consists of more than 50 varieties of local native wildflowers, either grown or hand-collected locally, that attract and support pollinators. Originally created with the intent to create pollinator habitat within cropland and disturbed habitats, it will provide bloom from early spring to late fall, from prairie crocus to many-flowered aster and is appropriate for any prairie restoration project. It includes also includes five species of local native bunch grass for a variety of habitat for bumble bees and other beneficial insects. This mix is appropriate for habitat restoration throughout the mixed grass prairies of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, as well as northern North Dakota and Montana.
