Wildlife Chuckwagon Mix

This native wildflower mix provides great food, bugging, and cover for quail, turkey, other game birds, and songbirds. It also provides great habitat for small and large mammals as well as pollinators. This mix was also designed to be economical.

Wildflower mixes should be combined with a companion grass mix to provide structure for the wildflowers, additional habitat for wildlife, and to carry a fire if using a controlled burn is desired. Wildflowers do not typically carry fire well. We recommend at least 25% grasses in a planting. Annuals and biennials will bloom first, with perennials typically expressing themselves by year 3.

This mix pairs well with Companion Grass Mix – Dry, Companion Mix – Mesic, and Companion Mix – Wet
