Why Choose This Seed?

What seeds are in the mix?

Deep Drought Performance

Tall fescue’s extensive roots and bermudagrass’s heat-adapted physiology sustain forage through southern dry spells, ensuring pasture continuity.

Rapid, Nutritious Establishment

Perennial ryegrass germinates in as few as 5 days, while white clover adds protein and stand uniformity for high-quality forage.

Erosion Control & Soil Health

Dense bermudagrass mats and clover stolons stabilize slopes and waterways, reducing runoff and improving infiltration.

Grazing Resilience

These species recover quickly after grazing or mowing—ryegrass and fescue resist trampling, and clover regrows steadily under rotational systems.

Wildlife & Pollinator Habitat

White clover blooms attract bees and beneficial insects, boosting biodiversity and ecosystem health

Questions & Answers

What is the Southern Horse Forage Mix?

An expert blend from Seed Nerds of cool-season ryegrass & fescue with warm-season bermudagrass & white clover for year-round southern grazing.

Why plant this mix in southern zones?

It pairs winter-active species (ryegrass, fescue) with summer-resilient bermudagrass and nitrogen-fixing clover for continuous forage in USDA Zones 7–10.

When should I plant it?

Seed in early fall (Sept–Nov); for overseeding bermudagrass, a late winter/early spring window (Feb–Mar) maintains cool-season vigor

How much seed do I need per acre?

20–25 lbs/acre, drilled or broadcast at ¼″ depth; adjust for local soil and competition.

How drought-tolerant is the mix?

Deep roots in fescue & bermuda sustain growth during dry spells; ryegrass & clover establish quickly in cooler, wetter periods.

Can I use this for erosion control?

Absolutely—dense root systems stabilize soils on slopes and waterways, reducing erosion risk.
