HOT CHIC IS ONE OF OUR FAVORITE PERENNIAL MIXES FOR WINTER/SPRING FROST SEEDING AS WELL - WHICH CAN BE A VERY EFFECTIVE WAY TO "NATURALLY" PLANT PERENNIALS.

HOT CHIC IS ALSO OUR MOST POPULAR MIX FOR SHADY BACKWOODS AREAS AND LOGGING ROADS - SINCE IT OFFERS GREAT SHADE TOLERANCE, LONGEVITY AND IS EASY TO MAINTAIN.  FOR AREAS WITH HIGH SHADE, WE RECOMMEND PLANTING IN THE EARLY SPRING TO ALLOW PLANTS TO ESTABLISH STRONG ROOTS AND STEMS BEFORE THE LEAF CANOPY DEVELOPS.
