"Native Beauty" -
Tall Grass/Wildflower Mix This contains some of the most beautiful and beneficial wildflowers not to mention this also provides habitat for rare and declining wildlife species by restoring, conserving and increasing the diversity of native plant communities. The more grasses and forbs (wildflowers) the more diverse mix you have to attract wildlife. There are tall mixes and short mixes. Tall mixes are going to provide cover for Pheasant, Turkey and Deer where your short mixes will provide cover for Pheasant, Quail and Prairie Chickens. These mixes provide a food source for the baby chicks by drawing insects into the wildflowers and also feeding adult birds and other wildlife. |
