Forever Beautiful - Tall Grass & Wildflower
Mix Designed to restore your rare and declining habitat areas, this prairie mix has cool season grasses for early spring grazing by birds combined with short and tall warm season grasses that provide excellent nesting material and cover. It also features a beautiful display of wildflowers that are host to a high population of insects. That's important for baby chicks because insects are their only food during a chick's first 4-6 weeks of life.. This is a full-spectrum mix, value priced by Prairie Seed Farms for Iowa CRP acres - at significant savings! A consumer mix with grasses and wildlflower comparable to "Forever Beautiful" would be priced at more than $1000 an acre in most in-home catalogs! |
