Majestic prairies once covered over 100 million acres! The most distinguished grasses of these prairies were Big Bluestem, Indian Grass, and Switchgrass. Our Tallgrass Prairie mixes feature these mighty grasses and over 50% wildflowers by seed count with almost 30 species in each. Average Tallgrass Prairie heights can reach 6 to 8 feet with some Silphiums reaching almost 10 feet!
With high diversity and a high seed count, this is an excellent choice for full sun, moist areas that are not quite saturated. Can be used as a transitional zone mix between mesic and emergent areas.
