Prairie Petite Seed Mix is specially designed for landscapes where a lower-growing native planting is desired. Featuring species that typically reach a mature height of 3 feet or less, this mix is ideal for front yards, borders, pathways, urban gardens, and other areas where visibility and a more compact appearance are important.
With blooms appearing from early spring through late fall, Prairie Petite provides season-long color while offering a continuous source of nectar and pollen for bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators. The diverse selection of native wildflowers creates an attractive display that supports wildlife without overwhelming the landscape.
This mix is seeded at approximately 180 seeds per square foot, a higher density that helps promote strong establishment and fuller coverage, particularly in landscaped settings where quick results are desired.
