MMF Pollinator Short/Solar Mix

This seed mix is designed to create pollinator habitat that will not get above three feet tall. These species were selected to ensure flowers throughout the growing season (April-October). It is appropriate for sites that are full sun to part shade, with moist to dry soils. This mix works well in solar farms, or for someone who wants a short version of our MMF Pollinator Mix. The species in this mix range from one to three feet tall. We recommend 20-25 pounds per acre, and we sell it by the pound.
