Free Wildflower Seed Packet Enviro-Explorers are kids doing things to help protect their environment. Planting wildflowers is a fun and easy way for you to get involved.
Wildflowers attract butterflies and provide a place for wildlife to live.
They also add beauty and color to the landscape. The Iowa Department of Transportation is helping Iowa kids start their own wildflower patch by providing them with a free Grayhead coneflower wildflower seed packet. The Grayhead coneflower grows readily from seed and is a good choice for starting a garden of prairie flowers. It attracts butterflies and song birds, and makes an attractive border for a background planting. The American Indians made a tea from the flower cones and the leaves of the Grayhead coneflower.
