Native grasslands are becoming increasingly popular as a means of turf replacement for less mowing and creating habitat for deer, turkey, quail, pheasants, grouse and rabbits. Our Mixed Height Native Grass Mix establishes over 2 to 3 growing seasons and reaches heights of 2 to 8 feet once established.
Tired of mowing large areas? Use this mix as a turf replacement with plant diversity and a range of fall colors.
Establishing food plots for wildlife? Use this as a border mix for habitat.
Looking for privacy? This works great along fence lines and at property lines.
Some things to remember:
This is a mix of native perennial cool and warm season grasses. It will take 2 to 3 growing seasons to fully establish and may not reach full heights the first growing season.
During the first growing season, this may be mowed at a high setting to help keep undesirable plant pressure down.
