All-Purpose Mix

Adapted to Most Soils and Climates of Quebec and Canada

The All-Purpose Mix is a balanced blend of flowers, grasses, and legumes designed to adapt to a wide range of environments.
It provides dense, long-lasting plant cover, supports biodiversity, naturally improves soil fertility, and delivers continuous flowering from spring through late summer.
Ideal for community lands, roadsides, rural areas, and institutional spaces, this mix ensures stable, colorful, and ecological results.

🌸 Main Composition

• Purple Coneflower (Echinacea purpurea) – Hardy perennial and nectar-rich plant attracting butterflies and bees.

• Alaska Shasta Daisy (Leucanthemum × superbum ‘Alaska’) – Abundant white blooms; highly cold-resistant.

• Crimson Clover (Trifolium incarnatum) – Nitrogen fixer with striking bright red flowers.

• Quebec Wild Raspberry (Rubus pubescens) – Native groundcover that supports wildlife and stabilizes soil.

• Sheep Fescue (Festuca ovina) – Dense grass resistant to drought and foot traffic.

• Baby Blue Eyes (Nemophila menziesii) – Annual with blue blooms, ideal for early-season pollination.

• Sweet Alyssum ‘Snow Carpet’ (Lobularia maritima) – Fragrant white flowers attracting bees and hoverflies.

• Perennial Daisy (Bellis perennis) – Naturalizes lawns and adds early spring interest.

• German Chamomile (Matricaria recutita) – Medicinal, melliferous plant with extended bloom.

• Perennial Ryegrass (Lolium perenne) – Fast-establishing grass that stabilizes soil.

• Dwarf White Clover (Trifolium repens var. nana) – Low-growing, long-lasting nitrogen fixer suited to varied soils.

🌱 A Partnership for Ecological Transition

As part of the energy and ecological transition movement, Semence Canada has partnered with the Canadian union Unifor to implement a pilot greening project in the Laurentians region.

This partnership aims to green living and working environments, restore local biodiversity, and demonstrate how nature can become a practical driver of energy transition in Quebec and across Canada.

For this initiative, Semence Canada developed an exclusive range of in-house seed mixes, carefully designed and tested to adapt to diverse environments and climatic conditions:

• 🌾 All-Purpose Mix – Versatile, resilient, and suited to most Quebec soils and climates

• 🌿 Urban Mix – Formulated for parks, institutional grounds, rooftops, and urban green spaces

• 🌱 Green Manure Mix – Regenerates soils, improves structure, enhances water retention, and captures carbon

• 🍃 Temperate Mix – Ideal for mild or variable climates, promoting natural plant diversity

• ❄️ Nordic Mix – Specifically designed for the cold, rigorous climates of Quebec and Canada, featuring hardy species that withstand prolonged frost and short growing seasons

These mixes—made from local, climate-adapted seeds—strengthen ecological resilience and reduce the energy footprint associated with maintaining green spaces.

Together, Semence Canada and Unifor are laying the foundations for a just and sustainable energy transition—where every seed planted becomes a gesture toward the future, for workers, communities, and the planet.
