"Prairie Sun" -
Tall Grass/Wildflower Mix A broad-spectrum prairie grass and wildflower mix for sites with full sun and medium to dry soils. Our mix contains short to tall grasses accenting the wildflowers and also fighting off the weeds giving you a beautiful prairie. This mix 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. These mixes provide a food source for the baby chicks and adults by drawing insects into the wildflowers. The first 6 weeks of a baby chick’s diet consists of only insects. |
