Description
The New England Native Warm Season Grass Mix contains a broad spectrum of native warm season grasses to insure that a variety of the species will survive in the sandy, drought conditions typically found along roadsides, gravel mine reclamation areas, and other low fertility well drained soil conditions. This mix is somewhat slow to germinate and establish during the first year of planting, but it will produce good cover by the end of the second growing season to produce long-living native stands.
The cool season grasses have been added as a “starter” seed for erosion control. This mix has excellent heat and drought tolerance, and grows best in well drained soils. Warm season grasses provide excellent year round cover and food for wildlife, particularly as winter cover for small animals. This mix can be applied by hydro-seeding, by mechanical spreader or by hand. Best results are obtained with a mid-late Spring seeding.
