Upland Eastern Native
Introducing our new Upland Eastern Native mix, a long-lived, expertly curated blend developed with Larry Weaner Landscape Associates (LWLA). Composed of adaptable native species, this mix is designed to evolve — starting with quick-blooming pioneers that establish early color and giving way to resilient perennials that offer lasting beauty, legibility, and ecological value.
LWLA is a leader in meadow design in the Northeast, with decades of experience creating dynamic, self-sustaining landscapes that thrive over time.

Meadow Lab’s Wildflower Sod is installed like conventional grass sod - simply lay it out onto a well-prepared site.
The naturally-occuring root mat helps suppress competition so you see more wildflowers and fewer weeds than other establishment methods such as seeding or plugs.
Crafted by meadow experts, our seed mixes contain a wide variety of native and/or naturalized species that are designed to evolve in harmony with site conditions over many years.
Once established, Wildflower Sod rarely needs watering and only requires 1-2 annual cuttings per year.

Meadow Lab’s Wildflower Sod™ is the first high-quality flower sod available in the United States. Produced via a proprietary growing system that took twenty years of R&D in the UK to perfect, we’ve now engineered it with wildflowers and grasses native to North America. Deliveries start in Summer 2025. Quantities are limited.
Starting a meadow via sod is a game-changer. You’ll receive a mat of established wildflower plants that retains 100% of its root system, and offers benefits such as instant ground cover, natural weed suppression, a head-start on flowering, and nearly-guaranteed success.
Establishing a wildflower meadow from seed is a cost-effective approach for large spaces. Our seeding guide walks you through our recommendations for how to apply wildflower seed to an already prepared site.
A meadow is more than just a beautiful landscape—it’s a dynamic, self-sustaining ecosystem that evolves over time, providing habitat for wildlife, improving soil health, and offering a low-maintenance alternative to conventional gardens. Establishing a meadow is a long but rewarding journey that can transform any space into a thriving natural environment.
Establishing a successful wildflower meadow begins with meticulous site preparation, a step that is absolutely critical to long-term success. There are a few ways to go about preparing your site for wildflowers. We outline five of the most successful methods here.
