Gourmet Sauvage Set - Riparian and Wetland Plants

Combo containing 6 seed packets of riparian and wetland plants, carefully selected by Gourmet Sauvage.

• Common sneezeweed, a keystone plant for biodiversity. This stunning flowering perennial reaches up to 80 cm in height and produces an abundance of bright yellow flowers from July to September, offering both beauty and strong pollinator appeal.

• Canada mint, the only native mint species in North America. This perennial contributes to soil stabilization and also has various culinary and medicinal uses.

• Swamp milkweed, a beautiful native perennial with pink flowers, known as a host plant for the Monarch butterfly. Its root system also helps stabilize wet soils, making it effective for erosion control in riparian and marshy zones.

• Cardinal flower, a striking native perennial with clusters of scarlet-red flowers. Beyond its spectacular beauty, it attracts numerous pollinators, especially butterflies and hummingbirds.

• Nodding bur marigold, a charming native annual with bright yellow flowers. This plant plays an essential role in water filtration and purification. In addition to reducing erosion, it absorbs excess nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus from water, helping control eutrophication in aquatic ecosystems.

• Obedient plant, a native perennial with elegant lavender-coloured blooms that last into the fall. This hardy plant provides a valuable late-season nectar source for pollinators when other resources are scarce.
