"Wildlife Paradise" -
Tall Grass/Wildflower Mix A broad-spectrum prairie grass and wildflower mix for sites with full sun and medium to dry soils. 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. 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 to the wildflowers, also feeding adult birds and other wildlife. |
