Local Ecotype Option: Some plants are available as a local ecotype variety. Our team hand-collects seeds from native wildflowers growing in conservation areas we manage, and these plants are grown from that locally collected seed. Local ecotypes are sourced from plants adapted to the conditions of our region and help preserve local genetic diversity, support regional wildlife, and strengthen the resilience of native plant communities.
