Use this mix of deep-rooted, perennial grasses to re-establish damaged floodplains. The mix also can withstand seasonal flooding and contains grasses with different levels of standing water tolerance.

 

Tolerance to Inundation:

  • Big Bluestem - 7-14 days
  • Canada Wildrye - 15-30 days
  • Eastern Gamagrass - 45 days
  • Fox Sedge - 60 days
  • Indiangrass 3-5 days
  • Switchgrass  -15-30 days
  • Virginia Wildrye - 60 days
  • Western Wheatgrass - 60 days


Temperature, soil type, water depth and age of stand all influence the grasses' tolerance to flooding, a.k.a. inundation. Plants are more tolerant to flooding during early spring than hot summer months. This mix is recommended along fluctuating shorelines, on dams and for lowland pasture
