Mix 197 - Southern Low Growing Native Roadside Mix
Mix 197 (Southern Low Growing Native Roadside Mix) is designed for the environmental conditions of the Southern Tier States. Flowering period and flower colors are coordinated for full season variety. The amount of seed of each species in the mix has been calculated using the number of seeds per pound of each species factored by establishment parameters. Mix 197 contains 7 native grass and 11 native wildflower species. Rate: 6.70-9.70 PLS pounds/acre. We recommend including a nurse crop for this mix. For fall through spring, we recommend 20 to 32 pounds of oats per acre or 2 to 4 pounds of annual rye per acre. For summer, we recommend 6 to 8 pounds of brown top millet per acre.
