Hancock's Southeast Native Quail Mix is dedicated to preserving and bringing back the native quail population of the Southeastern United States. The amount of each variety's seed in the mix has been calculated to add cover and food to draw the quail back to their natural habitats.
This blend is designed for the environmental conditions of this region. Hancock's Southeast Native Quail Mix is a blend of wildflowers, legumes, millets and native grasses. This mix works well in full sun to moderate shade, and will thrive in the sandy or clay-based soils of the southeast United States.

Remove all old vegetation to prepare a clean seedbed by means of a disc. Drag area to loosen and level any hard or uneven spots if necessary. Apply a slow-release starter fertilizer at the recommended rate of 250 lbs. per acre. Fertilize three times a year for best results.
Broadcast seed at recommended rate. Drag or roll lightly to cover the seed no more than 1/4 in. below surface. If you are overseeding an existing area, it is pertinent to mow existing grass low and incorporate seed 1/4 in. into soil for best results. Apply irrigation for approximately 30 minutes each evening until soil is damp, and germination has occurred. Irrigate newly-seeded areas every other day until the sprout reaches 6 in., then water recommended three times a week if needed.
As with all native grass plantings, it is recommended to get ahead of the curve, and control your weeds before trying to establish this native mix.
