MNL Mesic Prairie Mix

From: $40.00

A mixed height prairie designed for mesic and clay soils

Mixed height (ranging from 3-6 ft) prairie for medium moisture or clay soils.  Contains iconic tallgrass prairie species like Big Bluestem and Indiangrass, as well as over 15 species of forbs. 
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.
