This part sun mix took inspiration from the oak savannas and open woodlands that surround the Midwest.  Specifically designed for installation at the onset of restoration and also for overseeding of sunny woodlands that need a little bit of help, this mix contains some of the native species that begin and continue the healing process and provide competition for the dreaded buckthorn and other invasive plants, with a little bit of diversity added for functionality and aesthetics.  If you have high weed pressures from recently removed invasive woody and/or herbaceous species consider doubling the seeding rate to help compete against the invasive species. 

We would love to include Carex pensylvanica (Common Oak Sedge or Pennsylvania sedge) in the seed mix however, it does not typically produce enough seed for us to sell commercially. It is critically important to Midwest woodlands!  You can read about it at the aforementioned link.  Please consider adding several flats to your order.

This mix has 50% forb by seed count so you can attract those wonderful butterflies, bees, and pollinators! It also contains 11.5% sedges and rushes and 38% grasses.

*This seed mix contains 36 species including 26 species of wildflowers, 8 species of grasses, and 2 species of sedge.  

The species contained in this mix are certainly the backbone of woodland wildflowers and critical to restoration efforts.  However, certain native woodland plants can be very challenging to establish from seed and can take a lot of time to develop. To establish these hard to germinate beauties it is recommended that this mix is augmented with a diverse mix of woodland flowers, sedges, and grasses through supplemental plantings.  Also, remember that most folks overestimate the amount of light they receive.  If you believe that you are on the shadier side of things, also consider augmenting with more shade-tolerant woodland plants to fill out that end of the light spectrum.
