This ALL NATIVE mix of grasses and forbs is designed to hold soil along the fluctuating shorelines of lakes, ponds, streams, or lagoons. It consists of 28 species that will provide soil stabilization and habitat not only in the water, but on the banks leading down to it as well. These plants will filter run-off flowing into the body of water while providing food and cover for wildlife and waterfowl.

Uses include:

  • Soil stabilization
  • Erosion control
  • Wildlife habitat
  • Wildlife food 

Plant along borders of fluctuating shorelines in mid-spring through early summer, or as a dormant seeding in late fall. Planting around inflow areas can help create a sediment barrier.
