Description
The Dry Detention Basin native seed mix is designed for stormwater basins, swales, and other areas with fluctuating moisture. This blend of native wildflowers, grasses, and sedges adapts to both wet periods after storms and dry spells in between, creating a resilient, low-maintenance planting. Ideal for stormwater management, habitat restoration, and functional landscaping, it improves water quality while enhancing biodiversity.
Thriving in full to partial sun and mesic to wet soils, this mix provides multiple ecological benefits. Deep-rooted species stabilize soil and improve water infiltration, while moisture-tolerant wildflowers add seasonal beauty and attract pollinators like bees and butterflies. Key species include Swamp Milkweed, New England Aster, and Switchgrass, which bring both resilience and visual appeal.
For areas that remain wet year-round, consider our Rain Garden Mix as a more suitable option.
