Ludwigia Alternifolia 1000 Seeds – Seedbox Native Wetland Wildflower Yellow Pollinator Plant

Ludwigia alternifolia, commonly known as Seedbox, is a native North American wildflower that brings bright yellow blooms to wet meadows, rain gardens, and pond edges. This moisture-loving perennial is valued for its cheerful four-petaled flowers and its distinctive box-shaped seed capsules, which give the plant its common name. Seedbox attracts bees and other pollinators, making it a useful addition to native plant gardens and wildlife-friendly landscapes.

Seedbox grows naturally in wetlands, swamps, and along stream banks, where it thrives in consistently moist to wet soils. Its upright habit and long bloom period make it a lovely choice for rain gardens, bog gardens, water-wise plantings, and naturalized areas. The seeds offered here allow you to establish this native wildflower from scratch and enjoy its ecological benefits year after year.

Planting & Care

Seedbox seeds can be sown directly in a moist, weed-free area or started indoors for transplanting. Surface-sow the seeds and press them lightly into the soil, as they need light to germinate. Keep the soil consistently moist, but not flooded, until seedlings are established. Germination may be slow and uneven, so patience is helpful. Once plants are a few inches tall, thin or transplant them to their final spacing.

Choose a site that stays wet or consistently moist, such as a rain garden, bog garden, or the edge of a pond or stream. Water regularly during dry spells to maintain soil moisture. Seedbox is generally low-maintenance once established and may self-seed in favorable conditions. Cut back spent stems in late fall or early spring to tidy the plant and encourage fresh growth.
