This is a proven, eastern Oklahoma–adapted pollinator blend that balances monarch habitat, pollinator diversity, wildlife value, and cost efficiency. Ideal for landowners looking to maximize ecological return without over-engineering the planting.
Where it Works Best:
- Eastern & Central Oklahoma
- Tallgrass prairie remnants
- Field borders, pollinator plantings, CP-style practices
- Working lands, conservation plantings, and wildlife corridors
Mix Highlights
- Monarch support with butterflyweed and diverse nectar sources
- Heavy legume component (leadplant, prairie clovers, lespedeza) for nitrogen fixation and insect production
- Season-long bloom window (spring through fall)
- Forbs-forward structure with light competition—ideal for brood habitat and pollinators
- Designed for establishment at moderate cost with reliable species performance in Oklahoma soils
