Stormwater Basin Seed Mix
$315.00
This mix is designed to withstand the low water quality and highly variable conditions associated with stormwater and runoff features. Most species are salt tolerant and most will do well in mesic to wet hydrology with others filling in the wettest and driest ends of the spectrum. The high native seed count and heavy annual nurse crop in this mix ensure full and aggressive establishment. For areas less than 5000 sq ft, see our Raingarden Mix.
Mix Characteristics
