 I also want to make a praire type deal in the back part of my yard. I
intend to use perennial wildflowers. 
 Last year I bought a mix from walmart and had pretty good luck with it.
The young plants of the perennial variety such as yarrow are starting to
pop up.
 I bought some yarrow seeds last spring and planted them. Nothing
happened until this fall. I thought it was a dud packet, but I guess it
takes another season for things to bloom.
 It will be interesting to see what comes up of the perennials I planted
from seed last spring. If I can remember where I planted them, I won't
plant over them this spring.
 I really need to make a journal and note where things are planted.
