Native Wildflower and Grass Seed for Moab Utah

western xeriscape mixWether you live in Moab or any wester high desert community you know that finding native grass and wildflower seed can be very difficult. Mountain Meadows Wildflower and Grass Seeds offers the selection and service you're looking for.

Areas from 200 square feet to an acre can be covered in an amazing array of native plants. My son planted two different seed mixes on portions of his 1 acre lot in Moab. The first was the Western Xeriscape Seed Mix it produced a beautiful array of flowers and grasses which they used to outline their back patio area.

The flowers and grasses take very little water or maintainance. The flowers bloomed well into the summer and the grasses maintained the full, cool appearance through the fall. Southwest Seed MixThis mix contains 17 unique plant species covers all western states for locations below 7000' in elevation.

The Second mix they just planted at the end of last fall in random locations around our property to provide color and shape in a very open desert yard. The Southwest wildflower seed mix is very colorful and designed for zero maintainance after it comes up. Moving into the end of April they are watching the progress of new foliage popping up throughout their yard. The seed mix is designed for southern California across to New Mexico. Areas in Utah such as Moab or Saint George are ideal for this mix.
