Seed Mix & Warrior Plant Augmentation Planner
Start with a published Natural Communities mix. Estimate seed coverage, add a primary Warrior Plant augmentation quantity, and record requested mix changes for review.
Augmentation planning only—not a restoration plan. The status describes the selected configuration, not site readiness or likely restoration success.
1. Choose the application
Wet Prairie Native Seed Mix
View base mix & current availability →
View published mix specification →
Adjust the published seed rate (optional)
100% uses this mix's published rate, not a universal seeds-per-square-foot target. Other rates require project-specific review.
Add supplemental plugs (optional)
2. Primary Warrior Plant augmentation
Explore the primary Warrior Plants →
3,000 plugs per augmented acre is the NC quantity-planning reference, not a universal requirement. Enter only the zone receiving this primary group.
Explore Marsh & Emergent Warrior Plants →
Secondary transition-zone plants are optional and are not included in the primary plant total. Calculate separate zones with the plant calculator.

Ecological planning check
Enter your email on the next step. Your specification goes to Natural Communities for a quote, and you receive a CSV download. No order is placed.
PLS is pure live seed content, not bag weight or shipping weight. Actual bulk weight depends on the seed lot. Published figures are estimates and may be rounded.

Standard seed-package equivalents
Reset clears requested mix changes. Rates and package sizes are read from the published Shopify sources when a mix loads; unavailable or conflicting rates are not guessed.
Customize the base mix for a quote
Uncheck a species to request its removal. The remaining amounts are not automatically rebalanced. Modified subtotals use the rounded component values in the published specification, so they are preliminary—not a final blending formula.
Requested additions are not included in the numerical subtotals. Their availability, seed-count basis and rate must be confirmed before a custom mix is quoted. This request does not change the standard product or create a cart order.

Scope and planning assumptions
Need more than an augmentation estimate?
This tool does not evaluate hydrology, invasive-species control, site preparation, erosion, grading, installation, establishment mowing or long-term management. Warrior Plant suggestions are planting components—not a guarantee of invasive-species control.
For river and stream applications, the recommended seed base is Wet Prairie, paired with River & Stream Warrior Plants. The Emergent Wetland seed mix is not used for that recommendation.

Use your seed and plug summary
For a standard mix, open the base product above to check package sizes and availability. For a modified mix, choose Download & request a quote to submit your summary and requested additions. Add site location, source requirements and timing when available so we can review the specification and quote materials.
Seed quantities follow the linked published mix specification. Supplemental plug quantities use your entered area, zone percentage and density. Submitting a quote request does not place an order.

Natural communities and specifically Nick has been an
excellent and knowledgeable entity to work with on my big project. With the
help of my school, my students, many community partners, and Natural
Communities, we are in the process of restoring an area on a high school campus
to a natural prairie/pond area. Nick has come out to do site visits, he has
recommended various plant species that would work best for us, and he has been
able to get us what we want wholesale. Our site is not an easy project because
we are restricted to only native plants and native seeds and Natural
Communities has excelled in meeting our needs on this. Overall, I am so glad we
ended up working with Natural Communities because they have helped so much.

Our company has worked with Nick Fuller since before he
became Chief Ecological Officer for Natural Communities, LLC. His
knowledge of native plants and native seeds is remarkable. Nick was the
original steward of our 4-acre wildflower/wild grass prairie and has served us
as a reliable consultant ever since 2006. His continuing insights have
helped us to maintain and grow a healthy ecosystem.

I am extremely pleased with the one hour consultation I had
with Nick Fuller regarding our wetland creek. We have invasive plants and
grasses that have taken over our creek bed and we needed guidance on how to
both effectively remove the invasives and restore the area with native
plants suitable for the creek. Nick asked pertinent questions that allowed Nick
to identify plants and shrubs suitable for the area with a timeline for
planting. Nick also provided a detailed outline of the steps needed to remove the
invasives. I highly recommend Nick to anyone seeking help with their native
plant garden or to anyone interested in growing a native plant garden.

Spoke to owner in depth regarding a couple of different
projects I’m working on- very knowledgeable and professional. I plan on
purchasing seed for my projects through Natural Communities and will follow up
in the future if necessary. Highly recommend for native/natural projects!
