While most clay-loving flowers and grasses tend to be taller species, the flowers in this mix are mostly from two-to-three feet high. Only a few may grow higher under optimal conditions. The grasses, at waist height or lower, allow the flowers to really show-off. As with any seeding, the Low-Growing Prairie for Clay will do best with two to three inches of good topsoil over the clay to create the best seedbed. For clay soils in full sun, this seed mix contains at least 15 wildflowers and two or more grasses.
