Description
The Foothills Native Mix represents some of the key native, perennial species found in the upper Pinon Juniper to Ponderosa zone (approximate elevations 5, 000 – 7,000). This mix is designed for landowners who desire species naturally found in this environment. It does include 10% Lewis Flax, a pretty blue flower that establishes well. Since the species are all natives, they are very drought tolerant once they get established. The seeding rate is 10-15 lbs/acre or 1 lb/1000 sq ft.
40% Slender Wheatgrass
20% Indian Ricegrass
15% Sandberg Bluegrass
15% Arizona Fescue
10% Lewis Flax
