MNL Lakeshore Mix

From: $75.00

Short grasses and sedges with taller wildflowers for attractive water edge and shoreline 

Attractive mix with moisture-tolerant and emergent species that thrive near the water’s edge. Now designed with shorter height grasses, more sedges, and mixed height wildflowers. 

Seed mixes in our 500, 1,000, 5,000, and 1/4 acre package sizes come with native grasses, wildflowers, cover crop, and a filler (for easier spreading) all pre-mixed. Orders in 1/2 acre or 1 acre+ sizes come with grasses, wildflowers, and cover crop bagged separately for drill seeding or broadcast seeding.

Species of cover crop seed will depend on the time of year the product is ordered – if you order ahead and have a delayed planting time in mind, please indicate planting season (spring, summer, fall, or winter) in a note at check out.
