2 WILDFLOWERS & Seeding NATIVE GRASSES

FROM FESCUE TO WILDFLOWERS

In the 1950’s the fescue field that was here was abandoned and allowed to grow unchecked. Sixty years later (2008) the area was bulldozed to remove the mostly native and as well as multiflora rose and autumn olive that had replaced the fescue. It was then seeded in December GETTING STARTED

2008 with a 35-species mix of native wildflowers (our deep soil mix) and native grasses. By the end of the second growing season, plants of all thirty-five seeded 1 Evaluate the site and plan the timing of activities. Identify the type of soil and its species had been spotted.

Wildflowers and native grasses seldom get over six inches high the first year. This step isn’t necessary, if weeds are scattered andlight is reaching the developing wildflowers. 2 It usually isn’t necessary to cut weeds during the second growing season. However, if weeds are thick and creating a closed canopy above ground, cut the weeds (and wildflowers) back to six inches high one time when the average weed height is one foot. This usually isn’t needed, but be prepared. 3 From the third year on, an annual or biennial mowing or burning of all or part of the planting will promote the vigor of the fire-dependent wildflowers and grasses and help prevent the invasion of many fire-intolerant trees, shrubs, and exotic species. It is best to burn any time except mid-March to mid-July. Late summer burns help suppress native grasses. Burning or mowing is often done October through February. GETTING STARTED 4 Always remove or kill exotic legumes like serecia lespedeza ASAP to prevent re-seeding. > At least two herbicide applications are usually required to totally kill vegetation. If weeds germinate in the fall after the “last” application, another application will be needed in late October or early November on a warm sunny day.

Less than 5% of these mixes may be small-seeded grasses and sedges.

Seeding Rates: Our recommended Species Often Used in the Savanna Mix (But there will be more): seeding rates for flower mixes should Use the savanna mix on areas where trees are spaced enough to allow considerable yield about 30 seeds per square foot. The sunlight to reach the ground between them. Also bright and partly sunny areas at the seeding rate usually varies with each edges of trees that are forming a closed canopy. Soil can be dry to average batch of mix we make. We supply the seeding rate and species list with each Blue Wild Indigo Bush’s Poppy Mallow Rough Blazing Star mix. An ounce generally covers at least Purple Prairie Clover Agave Foxglove Beardtongue 500 square feet. Per acre rates range Tall Coreopsis Slender Mountain Mint Wild Quinine from 3 to 6 pounds. A three-gram packet Gray-head Coneflower Goldenrod Woodland Spiderwort should cover at least 20 square feet (4 by Rattlesnake Master Gumweed Oxeye Sunflower 5 feet). Species Often Used in the Wet Soil Mix (But there will be more): Native grasses are commonly planted Use the wet soil mix in low areas that often receive runoff and remain moist much of with wildflowers to make a more diverse, the year. It is common for these areas to become dry during late summer for as much stable and aesthetically pleasing planting as a month. Most of the plants are well-adapted to surviving the dry periods.

A FOUR STAR RATING SYSTEM For Formal Landscaping Landscaping with native plants to benefit the myriad wildlife species that depend on them is a noble endeavor. However, neighbors might only view it as noble if they find your plants attractive. Our four star rating system will aid in winning neighbor approval when using natives in a formal location. A four-star plant has a refined shape, attractive , and most likely, showy flowers. It looks good for most of the growing season. The owner would be proud to have it on the front row in the front of his or her home Fall Glade Onion Silky Aster or business. Allium stellatum Symphyotrichum sericeum Some of these plants can be used on the front line facing the street. Most have attractive flowers, but the foliage doesn’t last the season or doesn’t look as formal as four-stars. It is better to plant most three-stars behind four-star foliage. These taller plants usually have attractive flowers, but often have foliage with formalness issues. Most two-star plants will look fine in the back of a formal planting where their flowers will still make a show. There are some large species that look good all over, all season.

Genetics • With the exception of butterfly milkweed (Ohio), the original seed source of our plants is from wild populations found growing in Missouri. Our plants are as “wild” as we can possibly keep them. We feel that by keeping the genetics wild it is very beneficial to the insects depending on our plants for their survival, particularly the pollinators that are benefitting themselves and the plants. Our plants are only genetically Why is MWN a leading modified by the environment they are in. (Non-GMO) • Maximum genetic diversity is maintained by propagating native plant producer? practically all of our species from seeds. • Excepting buffalo grass, we don’t sell (cultivated 31 GRASSES & SEDGES VINES 32
