Revegetation Grass and Wildflowers Mix Product Info
Revegetation Grass and Wildflowers Mix is a grass-forward seed blend designed to establish cover quickly, stabilize soil, and bring a more natural meadow look to disturbed sites. We built this mix around cool-season bunch grasses for durability and root-driven soil stabilization on roadsides, ditch banks, and rangelands, then added 5% wildflowers for seasonal color.

Why?
We formulated this mix to balance quick germination with long-term durability. The bunch grass base provides strong root systems for soil stabilization, plus palatability for livestock and wildlife.
Where?
Use it on roadsides, ditch banks, slopes, and open disturbed areas where you need reliable cover and a naturalized meadow effect.
When?
Plant in spring or early summer for best establishment.
Water?
Keep the seedbed consistently moist through germination and early establishment. After the stand is established, reduce watering and rely more on natural precipitation when possible.
Planting Information
Best Planting Season:
Spring or early summer. For best results, seed when soil temperatures are in the general cool-season establishment range (about 50 to 80°F).
Easy Planting Instructions:
- Prepare the site: Remove weeds, rocks, and debris. Confirm the area drains well.
- Build the seedbed: Cultivate 4 to 6 inches of topsoil if needed. Keep the seedbed firm, not fluffy.
- Fertilize (optional): A starter fertilizer can support early root growth on poor soils.
- Spread seed evenly: Apply half the seed lengthwise, then half crosswise using a broadcast or drop spreader.
- Cover lightly: Rake seed into the surface for seed-to-soil contact. Do not bury seed deeply.
- Water during establishment: Keep the top layer of soil consistently moist until seedlings are established, then gradually taper irrigation.
Growth Requirements:
- Sun: Full sun to partial shade
- Soil: Performs across many soil types when drainage is adequate
- Site Fit: Works well on slopes and disturbed ground where stabilization is needed
Seeding Rate:
- Follow the seeding rate chart shown on this product page and your seed tag.
- Broadcast seeding typically requires a higher rate than drill seeding.
- For harsh conditions (steep slopes, erosion risk, heavier mulch), you may need a higher rate for reliable coverage.
Maintenance Notes:
- Avoid mowing until plants are established. If mowing is needed, do not cut below 6 inches.
- Let seed heads dry and scatter before mowing when possible.
- Overseed thin or bare areas to help minimize weeds.
Common Mistakes to Avoid:
- Burying seed too deep
- Skipping site prep on weedy areas
- Letting the seedbed dry out during germination
Mix Content
We built this revegetation seed mix with a grass-forward foundation for stability and persistence, then added 5% wildflowers for color and a more natural meadow look. Varieties of these species may change depending on availability. Please call for current varieties.
