US Native Prairie Grass Seeds
Prairie grasses are mostly perennials, which means that they will return year after year to grace your landscape. Many of these native prairie grass seeds are also warm season grasses that really get going in the summer months. Most prairie grasses are clump-forming, which means that they work well for wild areas, or as a landscape specimen, but would not work very well if you are looking for something you can mow for green space. If you are looking for a smoother turf grass type effect, then Buffalo Grass is probably going to be your best bet in the native realm of grasses. No matter what grass you're looking to plant, we have bulk seeds for sale that will help you accomplish your ideal landscape.
