For years people have asked us for a seed mix that will stay short throughout the season. Most of the flowers and grasses in this mix will grow no more than two feet tall! Please note that this mix is designed for dry conditions in sandy to loam soils and will not grow well in dense clay.
For step-by-step instructions see our How to Grow a Meadow information pages.
About our Seed Mixes
All of our wildflower seed mixes are designed on a “seeds sown per square foot” ratio of approximately 65% flowers and 35% grasses, this way you’ll get exactly the amount of seed you need for the area you wish to grow your meadow. Our seed mixes include written instructions and are ready to plant!
Our Super Short Mix contains these wildflowers and native grasses: Click on the plant’s name to see a pop-up photo of it.
