Native Grass Seed and Prairie Seed Mixes
Prairies are ecological communities dominated by grasses and wildflowers. By mid-summer the prairie is a mosaic of brilliantly colored wildflowers in a sea of gently waving grasses. In addition to their natural beauty, they provide important food and cover for a diversity of wildlife. Out Native Prairie Seed Mixes are modeled after native prairies and contain a high diversity of grases and wildflowers normally associated with these communities. We have mixes specially formulated for dry, mesic, or wet sites, including grass-only mixes. Our Conservation Mixes are excellent choices for establishing native cover on a budget. All perform best in areas receiving a minimum of six hours of sun daily. We reserve the right to make species substitutions in response to species availability.

These are grass-only mixes. They can be used alone or combined with mixes containg wildflowers. Click on buttons below for descriptions.	The Premium Prairie Seed Mixes contain a relatively high density of wildflowers to recreate the beauty and diversity of a natural prairie. The Conservation Prairie Seed Mixes contain the same species, but a higher percentage of grasses. Either mix may be used to create a beautiful diverse prairie that will provide excellent wildlife habitat. Click on buttons below.
