Solar Array Mix

If you’ve installed a solar array or are searching for a wildflower mix with a low profile, the Solar Array Mix is ideal for you. The varied microclimate found at solar sites, with different moisture and sun-to-shade conditions, requires a multifaceted mix of seeds. Drought-tolerant native grass, sedges, and perennial wildflower species reach 3-4’ tall and provide a broad range of habitat for wildlife and pollinator species. Many species will bloom each season, providing year-round appeal. The Solar Array mix is adaptable to many soil conditions, and regions of the country including the Midwest, Great Lakes, and East.

Weeds are inevitable during establishment; pull or mow weeds before they go to seed or become too competitive with the flowers.
