About this file
This document is a detailed specification sheet for a Showy Northeast Native Wildflower & Grass Mix, which appears to be part of a landscaping or environmental restoration contract requirement. The mix consists of 29 different native species with specific percentages, with Little Bluestem (27.90%), Virginia Wildrye (20.00%), and Sideoats Grama (11.20%) comprising the largest proportions. The seeding rate is specified at 15 lbs/acre along with 30 lbs/acre of a seasonal cover crop - grain oats for January through July planting or grain rye for August through December planting. The mix is designed for upland sites with well-drained soils and can be used in full sun to semi-shaded areas.
The specification includes various ecotypes from specific geographic regions (PA, NY, WV, VA, RI, MD) and includes both grasses and herbaceous perennial flowering species. The mix is specifically designed to attract pollinators like butterflies and hummingbirds and provides continuous color display from spring to fall. The document notes that mix formulations may change based on product availability, though the fundamental purpose and function will remain consistent.
