NATIVE GRASS MIXTURE
Successfully establishing native species in Zone 9 following soil disturbance is extremely difficult. Competition during establishment from winter and summer annual broadleaf & grassy weeds is a limiting factor to proper establishment. For specific recommendations for habitat mitigation, native plantings and seed availability, please call Cebeco International Seeds, Inc. for options. (1-800-445-2251).
