Native Prairie Seed (order Forms)
Native prairies are a mix of grasses and wildflowers that
are more resistant to drought, flood, pests, attract more
wildlife, involve less maintenance, and provide beautiful
displays of flowers, foliage and fall color. All of our prairie
mixes include a package of oats to be used as a cover crop.
If mowed before going to seed each of the first three years,
they will disappear from your plantings as the native plants
take hold. Each seed mix is sufficient to cover 545 square
feet. We recommend establishing the grasses before
planting wildflowers. Site preparation is important
so contact our staff or click the instructions below. New
property owners with exposed soils have ideal conditions.
No topsoil is necessary. Just seed, mulch, water and watch
it grow.
