Turning your backyard lawn into a native wildflower garden
My friend Karen turned 600 square feet of her backyard into a wildflower meadow full of native plants. She first removed the grass by sheetmulching with cardboard and organic mulch. She placed this material down in fall, and by early next spring, the grass was dead and the ground was bare and ready to be planted. She purchased plugs and small plants from Prairie Moon Nursery and planted them in the spring of 2021. Many of them bloomed and did well in their first year. This year, they filled in the empty spaces and grew larger and bloomed more prolifically. Karen saw a huge return in wildlife like bees, butterflies, birds and more.
Let's all try to restore native plants to our properties, if possible!
Here is the full planting list of what Karen planted:
- Coneflowers (Echinacea spp.)
- Rudbeckia spp. (Brown-eyed Susan, Black-eyed Susan, Cutleaf Coneflower)
- Blue Mistflower (Conoclinium coelestinum)
- Cup Plant (Silphium perfoliatum)
- Cardinal Flower (Lobelia cardinalis)
- Butterfly Milkweed (Asclepias tuberosa)
- New York Aster (Aster novi-belgii)
- Mountain Mint (Pycnanthemum spp. - Narrow-leaf MM, Clustered MM)
- American Senna (Senna hebecarpa)
Good luck with your garden!
