The Upland Savannah Economy Mix uses a variety of native forbs, flowers and grasses to restore ecosystems to the consistency of the ancient oaken savannahs that were at one time prominent throughout the northwest. This mix has been used to restore field and forest habitats and is aimed at promoting natural, healthy and balanced wildlife environments.
Extensive and meticulous hand collection throughout the natural Oak Savannahs scattered around the Willamette Valley have led to the propagation and development of this specialized mixture. We have combined rare and abundant native species of forbs and grasses in our Upland Savannah Economy Mix, which is a true representation of many of the natural Northwest habitats.

Seeding rate is 15 lbs per acre if using a seed drill to plant in rows. If broadcasting by hand or with a broadcast spreader you will need to plant 2 to 2.5 times more the seed 30 to 37.5 lbs per acre for the best effect. (For reference there is 43,500 sq. ft in an acre)
