This mix is comprised of mostly native grasses which, once established, are drought-tolerant and require lower maintenance than most other grasses.

SEEDING RATE: Use 2 pounds over 1,000 square feet up to 4 pounds for a thicker stand. Rake into the top 1/4 inch of soil, and if possible, irrigate until established.

MATURE HEIGHT: 12 to 18 inches. Most are bunch grasses. Good companion mix for wildflowers, too!  Use 1/4 lb, Colorado Wildflower Mix, with 5 lb. grass mix.

General Grass Seeding Tips:

Timing:  Seed in the Spring or Fall when the soil temperature is 50 to 80 degrees

Preparation:  Ensure adequate drainage of your site.  Cultivate 4-6 inches with topsoil.  The incorporation of a starter fertilizer will help provide proper nutrients for early growth.  Keep seedbed firm, not fluffy.

Seeding:  Using a drop spreader or a broadcast spreader, spread half the seed lengthwise over your site, then the other half crosswise over your site.  A recommended seeding rate is listed on the seed tag.

Moisture:  To help promote good seed germination, keep the newly seeded area moist at all times.

Maintenance:  Mow for the first time when the grass is approx. 3-4 inches tall. Do not cut below 1.5 inches.  A good fertilizer program will promote better disease control and encourage uniform grass growth.

Overseeding:  To renovate an established lawn, mow very closely and rake deeply.  Spread 1/2″ to 3/4″ of sand or topsoil over the area and overseed with chosen seed mix.  Spring or Fall are excellent times for overseeding.
