Root structures on native grasses can go as deep as 10 feet making this mix perfect for situations where erosion control and soil stabilization are needed at a lower cost compared to some of our other mixes. This contains both cool season grasses, which emerge early in the growing season, and native warm season grasses, which reach their finished height and peak color in late summer into early fall.
Plant this mix in areas where a low maintenance native grass mix is desired, as a means of turf replacement or as wildlife habitat for deer and turkey.
Some things to remember:
Contains the following species:
Grasses:
Sorghastrum nutans - Indian Grass
Elymus canadensis - Nodding Wild Rye
Andropogon gerardii - Big Bluestem
Elymus virginicus - Virginia Wild Rye
Panicum virgatum - Switch Grass

PLS Lbs Per Acre Broadcast = 22
PLS=Pure Live Seed
Pure Live Seed is a measure of viable seed stated as a percentage. It is the product of total germination times purity.
Example: 96% Germination x 93% Purity = 89% PLS
All of our native warm season grasses and seed mixes are sold PLS.
Broadcast seeding is the process of sowing seed by hand. The seeds are sprinkled into the soil and can be lightly raked in to ensure germination.
