Designed for the side slopes surrounding retention basins where water flows but does not collect. The deep roots of these species help hold the soil on place and increase the percolation of water into the soil. Acts as a buffer strip to filter particulates out of the flow prior to entering the basin. Tall grasses reach 4 to 6 feet and add interest, form the structure for the wildflowers in the mix. Cover crops and erosion control may be required with this mix depending on conditions. Call or email with questions.
