Seed Mix Specifications

A diverse shorter statured native prairie grass and wildflower mix featuring a broad palette of colorful species and flowering time. Most of the species will grow to four feet or less, making this an ideal mix for areas where taller grasses are not desired. Once established, this wildflower community will display a variety of colors, booming from early spring to fall, creating a diverse habitat for birds, butterflies, moths and other pollinators. The large open spaces and shorter stature prairie is needed for the imperiled grassland birds and lets the flowers express their beauty more freely.  This mix, when implemented correctly on larger parcels, provides that exact habitat.

This mix has a high flower content by seed count so you can attract those wonderful butterflies, bees, and pollinators!

We strongly recommend adding 5 lbs/acre of the native rye cover crop with this mix to help compete against weeds. We did not include it in the mix to allow the customer to customize; keep grasses as short as possible or add for better/easier establishment. Click here for the recommended rye mix, which can be purchased separately.

Use this as your base and add diversity in future years by adding species through seed or plugs.

*Provided as Pure Live Seed

*All mixes may vary in % composition and species composition based upon availability. 

All seed sales are final and can not be returned because they are custom mixed at the time of purchase.

  • Need pollinator mix with extra forbs for sunny area of 2200 square feet. Live in Crystal Lake, IL. Cost plus shipping. Thanks...

    Hello, this seed mix has 65% forbs by seed count.  Our smallest size is 1/2 acre, which is quite a bit larger than 2200 SF.  You can see the cost plus shipping for the 1/2 acre mesic short mix by adding it to your cart and checking out.

    Thanks!
