1 Detention /Urban Disturbed Wetlands 2013 Urban Wetland/Floodplain Seed Mixture A seed mix for urban floodplains, tolerant of dirty storm water, some siltation, dolls heads, & bleach bottles. Sun or partial shade A mix for the Box Elder barrens. Best dormant seeded, but some wetland mixes are best planted as soon as the wetland is constructed. Waiting may mean seeding on frozen ground or costly pumping, & pumping, & pumping to expose the area.

Best dormant seeded, but plant as the site becomes available, especially if the dufus engineer didn't put in a draw-down structure. Orthodox wetland seeds are best stored in/on the soil.

All the better to silt you in, my dear! v total total native matrix Native Diverse Detention Mix A diverse mix of wetland grasses, sedges, rushes, & forbs for the harsh environment of detention basins. Tolerant of less than optimum growing conditions. In diversity is strength & steadfastness. More diversity if dormant seeded.

Shoreline or emergent seed mixes which are installed in pumped down basins that return to normal waterlevel, never to draw down again are a waste of seed & money. They stand a snowball s chance in hell of any, let alone, long term success. Wetlands have to dry out! Salt Tolerant Wetland / Detention Mix A mix of salt tolerant natives, western US adventives (and nurse crops) that are known to occur on alkaline roadside wetlands in the Chicago Region.

9 Verbena hastata Blue Vervain Agrostis gigantea {A alba} Red Top Grass Avena sativa Seed oats Distichlis stricta Salt Grass Lolium multiflorum Italian Rye Puccinellia distans Alkali Grass v total total native matrix Salt tolerant wetland plants for Illinois are difficult, for we have few native saline sites. The adventives in this mix are known from saline wet areas in northern Illinois. Greater diversity always increases the chance for a successful planting. Why is height a concern for a planting which must be in a topographic low & physically looked down upon? Can we say strict toilet training. If you client has to look down upon short plants in a hole, you have failed to properly educate them on natives! Detention/Urban Disturbed Wetlands 9
