Wildflower seeds of the north Florida ecotype
are available through the Salter Tree and Herb Farm. The farm is offering
rare seed originating and grown in Florida. The collection covers Gaillardia to Echinacea and includes
3 popular Tickseed flowers of the Coreopsis family: basalis, lanceolata, and leavenworthii. The Salter
Tree and Herb farm hopes to help reestablish wildflowers by offering the public a chance to
purchase seed directly. All flower species offered for sale are also grown at the farm, in conservation
and propagation colonies, to ensure future access to what is now a diminishing diversity of
Florida flowers. Many of the seeds sold here can be grown state-wide and even throughout the
southeastern US. Try a few packets to begin and beautify a waste area, roadside or naturalized yards.
Many wildflower seeds provide food for a wide variety of wildlife and the flowers are an incredible link
in the chain of life. Be ready for Wildflowers galore!! Let them be wild - they will drift and migrate,
mix and mingle, and offer an exciting array of color.
Yes! I want to buy
wildflower seeds!
Joanna Booth of Salter Tree and Herb Farm is custodian to Florida
native wildflowers and rare and familiar native plants of the

The Salter Tree
and Herb Farm harvests many types of wildflowers. We also purchase wildflower crops from several other growers in
Florida. Your purchase helps sustain a fledgling industry of committed growers.
At the farm, we
will attempt to produce any native species desired provided seed or cuttings can be obtained. Small quantities of
plants for collectors are generally available. Other plant orders are grown by contract only. Most
wildflower seeds are available year round for many native wildflowers enthusiasts.
