Typically, low stature mixes perform poorly in seasonally wet soils. This mix utilizes our exclusive wet-tolerant little bluestem and prairie dropseed originating from a wet prairie, along with a variety of sedges and forbs to create a low stature mix that performs well in wet mesic conditions. We recommend it for clay soils and flat areas on glacial till plains.
