The Alkali Seed Mix is a cool season, perennial blend that combines the alkali resistance traits of six different grasses and legumes. Alkaline deposits often accumulate in low points where surface water run off brings salts extracted from other soils. The Alkali Seed Mix has a combination of tall and short plants adapted to grow in such areas. It can be grazed; however, its main function is to provide coverage in areas where most plants won’t grow.
