Bird & Butterfly Mixed
(STANDARD MIX)  SM-BBM
Species that are particularly attractive to birds and insects were selected for Agrecol’s Bird and Butterfly Prairie. Average to well drained soils and a half day or more of direct sun are recommended. Some of the most ornamental native grasses were used to provide the matrix in which the wildflowers will grow. These grasses will provide cover and support the weaker stemmed wildflowers. As well as being attractive to wildlife, this mix contains many very beautifully blooming wildflowers.
