Low Growing Prairie for Clay Soils Many of you have asked “Is there a seed mix that will grow on clay but stays only a few feet tall?” Until now, most of the “CLAY BUSTERS” flower and grass mixes tended to be taller species. We’ve now assembled a stellar lineup of the best short prairie plants for heavy clay soils! The flowers grow only one to three feet high, with a few that may reach up to four or five feet under optimal conditions. The grasses stay at waist height or less, allowing the flowers to really show off. As with any seeding, your prairie will do best if you can provide two to three inches of good topsoil over the clay to create a good seedbed. For information on improving your soil, please see pages 78-79.

Low Growing Prairie Meadows Many of our customers requested a low growing prairie mix, even shorter than our classic Short Prairie Mixes (page 16). We listened to what you wanted, and we are pleased to offer our Low Growing Prairie Meadow Mixes. The majority of the flowers in these mixes grow no taller than two feet with a few flowers and grasses rising up to three feet. During summer, the grasses stay low, and play a supporting role as the flowers put on their colorful show. In fall, the flowers turn over center stage to the grasses, which then send up their delicate seedheads and turn bronze, gold and copper with the first frosts. These special mixes are offered exclusively by Prairie Nursery to fill the need for lower growing prairie meadows in a variety of landscape situations. Perfect for the urban and suburban prairie homesteader!
