Why You'll Love It

Introducing Earthwise Seed Company's Southwest Native Meadowscaping Mix, a robust blend tailored to transform your landscape into a thriving ecosystem reminiscent of the Southwestern prairies. This mix combines the resilience and beauty of our Pioneer Wildflower Mix with the durability and adaptability of our Prairie Partners Mix, offering a full-season spectacle that's as hardy as it is stunning.

Designed for regions characterized by poor soil fertility, low-to-moderate rainfall, and challenging growing conditions, this mix includes a rich tapestry of native wildflowers and grasses that not only flourish with minimal maintenance but also enhance biodiversity. The wildflowers, including Blanketflower, Blue Flax, and Purple Prairieclover, provide vibrant blooms and attract pollinators from the first year, with perennials continuing to mature and diversify the display over time. The inclusion of Buffalograss and Blue Grama adds a lush, dense sod that integrates seamlessly, creating a visually appealing ground cover that's drought and sand tolerant.

Application Instructions 

Bare soil vs. overseeding matters — but both are possible.

All Earthwise Meadowscaping mixes can be planted into prepared bare soil or overseeded into an existing lawn or open landscape. The best approach depends on your starting conditions, timeline, and long-term goals.

Bare Soil Planting

  • Offers the fastest, most uniform meadow establishment
  • Ideal for new landscapes, lawn removals, and restoration projects
  • Clear existing vegetation and lightly loosen the top 1–2 inches of soil
  • Broadcast seed evenly and press into the soil surface — do not bury

Overseeding

  • Allows your landscape to transition naturally over time
  • Works best in thin lawns, open soil patches, or low-competition areas
  • Seed-to-soil contact is critical — rake lightly or mow low before seeding
  • Establishment is slower but integrates well with existing soil ecosystems

Timing & Establishment

  • Fall planting is preferred, allowing natural cold stratification for many species
  • Spring planting is possible, though some wildflowers and grasses may emerge later
  • Keep soil lightly moist during early establishment, then reduce watering gradually

What to Expect

  • Germination will be staggered — some species appear quickly, others take weeks or months
  • Native grasses (Buffalograss and Blue Grama) establish gradually and strengthen over time
  • First-year growth prioritizes roots; flowering increases in year two

Great sweater for winters in the Midwest
Color: Black, Size: X-Large
Love this sweater! I went back and got another color! The fit is true to size and very comfy. The button detail on the sleeves just adds a little pizazz. The weight of the sweater is perfect for winters in the Midwest.

Flattering fit
Color: Dark Green, Size: XX-Large
This sweater is thick and stretchy but holds a nice shape, and is flattering on the body. The sleeves are nice and long too, which I really appreciate, being a tall person... the button detail is a great addition. True to size. I haven't washed it yet, and I imagine, based on the kind of woolly knit it is, that this sweater will eventually pill... but for now I'm enjoying being cozy and stylish. The deep green color is almost black green. I LOVE IT.

Love it
Color: Dark Green, Size: Small
I got the dark green. Love the sweater and it's warm. I do layer the sweater as well. It is as pictured. Size is perfect to me. I like sweaters to be longer and a bit wider in case it is freezing and I need to layer it. This sweater is perfect for layering. It comes closer to my backside, it is a little wide and not snug, and I like that the sleeves come over my wrists

Still soft but looks terrible after 1 wash. Save your money
Color: White, Size: Small, Color: White, Size: Small
Update: sweater looked great when I received. After 1 wash it looks terrible. Looks like it’s been washed too many times, material fuzzy and piled. After wearing it once, it snagged and the knit pulled through. I would NOT recommend. I had such high hopes. Save your money. Very nice sweater, especially for the price! I love the details of the buttons on the sleeves. It is SO soft. It’s not super thick as I can see my skin through it when pressing my hand up against fabric. However, it’s not see through when wearing it. It’ll be perfect in cooler weather and perfect in the winter with a coat but won’t cause me to overheat when in a heated environment. I do feel like it runs big. I could have sized down a size. Although I’m not sure if it’ll shrink after a wash or two.

Disappointed.
Color: Blue, Size: Large, Color: Blue, Size: Large
This sweater is so comfortable and very soft. It fits well in a flattering, oversized way. But after one wash it is pilled everywhere which makes it look old and shabby. It’s at a price point where I feel compelled to return it.
