Flood Plain Native Mix
Ideal for flood-prone areas where traditional landscaping is not feasible, the Flood Plain Native Mix provides critical habitat for pollinators while adding vibrant color and texture to wetland environments. Designed for frequently flooded regions along rivers and streams, this mix includes a diverse array of annual and perennial grasses and forbs that thrive in low-maintenance, nutrient-poor conditions. With an establishment period of 1-3 years, plants grow to heights between 24” and 48”, creating a resilient and ecologically valuable landscape.
This blend features species such as Fox Sedge, Virginia Wild Rye, Big Bluestem, and Blue Vervain, which quickly establish and attract both wildlife and pollinators. The combination of grasses and flowering plants enhances biodiversity while stabilizing soil in wet environments. As part of DLF’s blends, the Flood Plain Native Mix ensures effective ecological restoration, providing an economical and sustainable solution for newly established wetlands and floodplain habitats.
