Erosion control mixes make use of deep-rooted perennials that establish quickly to hold the soil on steep slopes. For well-drained sandy, gravelly and rocky soils, the Erosion Control Seed Mix for Dry Soils is designed to provide rapid vegetative cover and long-term soil stabilization, with a high ratio of native grasses and plenty of fast-growing prairie flowers. Annual Rye nurse crop is included for rapid green-up.
Note: Always apply the appropriate grade of erosion mat on areas subject to water erosion. Seeded areas that are not subject to erosion will benefit from a cover of clean straw applied at a rate of 1.5 to 2.0 tons per acre. This helps retain soil moisture, and increases seed germination and plant survival. Contains at least 15 wildflowers and 5 or more grasses, plus Annual Rye.
Establishing a native plant community from seed can take 3 years or more. Read our Seed Mix Establishment Guide.
