Domain Hot Chic TM
Perfect for new plot establishment, shady areas, logging roads and no-till planting!
A hardy mixture of pH-tolerant cold season perennials that can last several years and provide nutrient-rich forage for your deer and turkey. With a variety of chicory and two varieties of clover, Hot Chic is a highly sought-after deer forage that has the ability to tolerate acidic soils, withstand drought, and crowd out potential weed competition. Hot Chic is perfect for helping to establish a brand new food plot location and is best maintained by fertilizing and periodic mowing. Hot Chic sets itself apart because of its ability to handle the heat in the South and the cold in the North, all while providing premium levels of nutritious forage that is highly attractive to your deer. Hot Chic is a must for every hunting property.
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.
