When planting a prairie meadow it is best to include a mix of both cool and warm season grasses for early and late season cover and interest. Some grasses also grow well in occasionally wet or always wet conditions. These grasses have very deep roots, some up to 6 feet, which makes them very drought tolerant. They head out in late July and are at their peak in August and September. Warm season grasses start growing in June and are lush and green all summer. Cool season grasses green up early and produce seed heads in June. They are part of the Mixed Grass and Tall Grass Prairie that once covered much of southern Manitoba and exist only in remnants now. The warm season grasses are very long lived, returning from the roots year after year. We always have a great selection of our Tough and Beautiful, native prairie grasses.
