The mix of ground covers, upright flowering perennials, and grasses provide basic vegetative layers to compete with non-native pioneer species, provide erosion control, temperature regulation, carbon sequestration, dynamic habitat, attractive seasonality, and protection for sowing new seeds in between plantings. Recommendations to further enhance the meadow include adding native bulbs and sowing annuals in-between the “Mini Meadow Mixer plants” as they establish.
