A mix of low water use meadow grasses
Nature's Prairie Turf™
Nature’s Prairie Turf™ is our trademark blend of indigenous and naturalized grasses native to North America. These grasses offer good winter color, shade, and drought tolerant with the capability of going semi-dormant during drought or hot summer weather. Nature's Prairie Turf™ grows well in poor infertile droughty soils and does well at elevations between 5,000 ft to 10,000 ft. Nature's Prairie Turf™ is tolerant of salinity and alkaline conditions but doesn’t tolerate over watering or flooding. It is quick to establish and provides excellent density to keep out weeds.
