This mix emphasizes native Eastern U.S. species that tolerate periodic saturation and fluctuating moisture, producing dense structure, abundant insect forage, and extended bloom from spring through fall. With a restrained grass component and a rich forb palette, it maintains open ground movement for wildlife while supporting strong pollinator use.
