Wild Flower Seeds

Can anyone tell us where is a good place to get indigenous (to KY) wild flower seeds? I haven't seen seeds at any of the Farmers' Markets. Thought about Creation Gardens, but haven't checked them out yet. Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

I would try Thienemans off of Taylorsville Road.

I have come across Drop Seed Nursery on my research of rain gardens. I have not visited Drop Seed yet, but looks like they have native plants and seeds, according to their website.

You can go to Wal Mart and tey sell a mix of them in a small can....a few years ago I sprinkled them in an island and they still look great year after year.....and the birds love it too....

I think the point was they wer looking for NATIVE or INDIGENOUS plant seeds. I would check with your county extension agent and get a soil test done first so you know what type of plants work best with your soil conditions. I would also bet they can point you in the right direction for a native seed source. I recall the state had some programs out there to help reseed natives.

Horton's Hardware in the Douglas Loop had native seeds/plants advertised in their window.

The nature center across the street from the zoo had a native plant sale last year around this time. I'm not sure about seeds, but at least you can get an idea. They may sell seeds anyway, but I don't remember there being a giftshop.

Thanks for all the suggestions! I used to walk to Horton's Hardware, and whatever it was called before it changed ownership. I always loved the Loop, especially when it had so many of the businesses that had been there forever. I always liked to try and give them my business to keep them around, so I will see what they have available.
