1 Lb Big Bluestem Native Grass Seeds – Everwilde Farms Mylar Seed Packet
1 Pound Mylar Bag – Big Bluestem SeedsGold Vault Mylar Zip Packet Sometimes known as the “king of the grasses,” this species towers over all the other natives of the tallgrass prairie region. In the past, it grew thickly over many miles of prairie and provided an important food source for bison. Its extensive root system makes it a valuable plant for erosion control, as well as being one of the most commonly chosen species for prairie restoration and native landscaping. The genus name “Andropogon” comes from the Greek words for “man’s beard,” referring to the stiff hairs that develop on the ornamental seed head. Direct sow either in late fall or early spring. Plant the seed just below the surface of the soil, compacting the soil very firmly. Keep the soil lightly moist until germination. These seeds are non-GMO (Genetically Modified Organisms), and are also free from all Neonicotinoids. They are packaged in our superb Gold Mylar Mylar Zip Packaging, which gives the seeds the best storage possible, and allows you to reseal the bag for later use. The artwork and labels on the packet are loaded with information – many people comment that it is the most beautiful packet that they have ever seen.
