About this file

The document is a 2017 Seed List for Zone 1 New Mexico Plateaus and Mesas, detailing a comprehensive seed mix for ecological restoration or revegetation projects. The seed list is organized into four categories: annual quick-cover grasses, cool-season grasses, warm-season grasses, wildflowers, and woody shrubs. Each category includes specific plant species with their botanical names and recommended pure live seed (PLS) pounds per acre, with a total PLS of 11.75 pounds per acre.

The seed list emphasizes local, wild-sourced genotypes, with a note that specified registered varieties should only be used if wild-sourced seeds are unavailable. The mix includes a diverse range of native grasses such as bottlebrush squirreltail, Indian ricegrass, blue grama, and sideoats grama, along with wildflowers like blanket flower, Lewis flax, and Nelson globemallow. Woody shrubs in the mix include antelope bitterbrush, four-wing saltbush, winterfat, and sand sage, suggesting the seed list is designed for restoration in arid or semi-arid New Mexico plateau and mesa environments.
