A great seed mix for low moist areas that tend to stay damp throughout the growing season. This is also an excellent choice for an extra large rain garden, where the use of transplants may be cost-prohibitive. The species in this mix tolerate periodic flooding for a day or two, as well as dry periods between rainstorms. This seed mix is not recommended for dry sandy soils that drain rapidly and do not retain moisture. The Moist Meadow/Rain Garden will attract and support a variety of pollinators, butterflies and birds. Contains at least 20 wildflowers and 6 or more grasses, sedges and bulrushes.
Establishing a native plant community from seed can take 3 years or more. Read our Seed Mix Establishment Guide.
