Our new seedings of various kinds and combinations of native prairie plants is really struggling. The plantings have had less than 1" of rain in the last 6 weeks usually we would have had about 5" of rain in the same period of time. In the picture, you can see the black-eyed susan in bloom, that plant is less than 12" tall. Normally that type of plant would be at least 2' tall if not 3' tall at this time of the year. I am truly amazed at the drought tolerance of these new seedlings.
