Create a beautiful, natural prairie landscape with this Tall Grass Seeds Mix, a premium blend of native grasses known for their height, durability, and ecological benefits. This mix combines four iconic North American prairie grasses that grow tall, sway gracefully in the wind, and provide exceptional habitat for birds and wildlife.
Once established, these grasses develop deep root systems that help stabilize soil, improve drought resistance, and restore natural ecosystems. The mix is ideal for prairie restoration, wildlife habitat, erosion control, native landscaping, and ornamental natural areas.
Each species in the blend plays an important role:
- Big Bluestem (Andropogon gerardii) – Often called the “King of the Prairie,” this grass can grow 6–8 feet tall and provides strong structure to native landscapes.
- Little Bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparium) – A hardy bunchgrass known for its striking blue-green summer foliage and copper-red fall color.
- Indiangrass (Sorghastrum nutans) – Tall golden plumes appear in late summer, creating a classic prairie look while providing wildlife shelter.
- Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) – A versatile native grass valued for erosion control, wildlife cover, and adaptability to many soil types.
This blend produces dense, tall grass stands that offer excellent cover for birds, pollinators, and beneficial insects while enhancing the natural beauty of fields, meadows, and large landscapes.

Growing Tips
For best results, plant in full sun in well-drained soil. Seeds can be broadcast over prepared soil and lightly pressed or covered. Germination typically occurs in 10–21 days, with grasses developing stronger root systems during the first growing season. Full height and density are usually reached in the second year.
Whether you're restoring a prairie, creating a wildlife habitat, or designing a natural meadow, Tall Grass Seeds Mix provides the authentic look and ecological benefits of classic American prairie grasses.
