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.

Establishment Notes

Establishing a native plant community from seed can take 3 years or more. Read our Seed Mix Establishment Guide.

Pure Live Seed Notes
All seed is Pure Live Seed (PLS). One PLS pound is defined as the weight of seed required to equal one pound of 100% pure, germinable seed. This is calculated based upon each seed lot's purity and germination tests. We track the ecotype origin of our seed inventory and provide this information at customer request.
