This Mowable Short Native Meadow mix is made for mowing 3 to 4 inches high 1 to 8 times in the spring/early summer. The less it’s mowed, the more it will bloom. Even when heavily mowed throughout the year, it will still cover the ground with native vegetation. If it’s mown every week throughout the year it will mostly mature as Yarrow and Heal All native vegetation. The less often it is mown, the more flower diversity it will have. Mowing on the highest height possible is also beneficial to the diversity. In the spring time the native Yarrow will arise to bloom in late spring. Early Summer to Midsummer the native variation of Heal All will bloom at just a few inches tall. In late summer Early Goldenrod, and Orange Coneflower will combine with gold colored blooms. After these two species are finished, Few-Leaf Sunflower and Dwarf Goldenrod will end the year with pollinator popular sunflower and goldenrod blooms. This Mowable Native Mix is adapted to dry sites, moderate moisture sites, and seasonally wet sites that become better drained during the summer time. It can grow in as little as 4 hours of direct sunlight per day in sandy, clay, or silt soil textures.
