The Open Woodland Plug Package features wildflowers that thrive in part-sun conditions, such as aspen groves or the east side of hills and wooded areas. These species prefer well-drained soils that range from moderately dry to moist. For a list of species that may be included, see our Plug Package Contents. You can also use the comments section above to let us know if your site is urban or rural, which helps us select the best plants for your package.
The Open Woodland package includes at least 15 different species of wildflowers, also selected to cover the longest bloom time possible.

Important Information
How you can help us pick the right plants for your space.
Our plug packages are customizable. Simply choose a package and tell us more about your space. Some packages are designed around specific site conditions, while others are more general.
Use the comments section on the Plug Package Page to share details like whether your project is urban or rural, your sun and soil conditions, your preference for tall, short, or mixed heights, your need for mid- or late-season blooms, or even your favorite colors. We’ll will take this all into account as we select the plants for your package.

What to Expect
Your plugs will arrive labeled with information on height, spacing, bloom period, and site preferences (when relevant). We’ll also include planting instructions and tips to help you get started. In early spring, some plants may still be dormant or just starting to wake up— they are second year plants and outdoor grown, these plugs are in tune with the season, and can be planted as soon as the ground is workable.
Coverage
It's difficult to give an exact coverage estimate for any plug package, as wildflowers vary widely in size, growth habits, and how they spread. Some grow big and bold, while others stay compact. All native plants will produce viable seeds, and species that don’t produce much tend to spread underground instead. If you don't want them to spread, simply remove the seed heads before they ripen.
As a general estimate, a small plug package (20 plugs) covers about 30 to 40 sq ft, spaced at 1 plug per 1.5–2 sq ft. Since our packages are customizable to your site and project goals, it's important to let us know whether your project is urban or rural. In rural spaces, we’ll include larger plants that cover more ground and make a bigger impact—plants we wouldn’t include in an urban package due to their aggressive spreading habits, which may be exactly what you need in a larger space.
Plug size and spread also vary by habitat type. Dry/Rocky plug packages will include plants that naturally stay smaller due to tougher growing conditions. On the other hand, species in Moist or Open Woodland packages tend to be bigger, thanks to their lush, shaded environments.
