The Northwest Wild Wetland Economy Mix is designed with a variety of forbs and grasses that are commonly found in shallow, standing water throughout lowlands, wetlands and springs. The benefit to this seed mix is that it uses wetland plants that are adapted and able to withstand seasonal summer conditions, which may dry-out the shallow water surrounding them. This adaptation results in a versatile native wetland mix that will provide excellent and aesthetic ground cover for most everglade areas.
