Premium Erosion W/Wildflowers
Diverse grass, clover and wildflower combination for exposed soils where erosion-control function and a flowering component are both desired.
View Product →Weaver Seed offers complete erosion-control mixtures and individual species for projects where establishing vegetation is part of protecting exposed soil. Choose a ready-made mix or select individual grasses and other species around slope, soil, available moisture, planting method, stand duration and long-term site management.
Vegetation can be an important part of erosion management by reducing bare ground and establishing root systems across the soil surface. Different species provide different establishment speeds, rooting patterns and stand durations.
Established vegetation reduces the amount of exposed soil directly impacted by rainfall and wind.
Grasses can develop dense fibrous root systems that occupy surface soil and contribute to soil-holding capacity.
Fast-establishing species can provide early vegetative growth while slower or more persistent components develop.
Combining grasses, legumes and other appropriate species can provide multiple growth habits within one planting.
Erosion-control seed should be selected around the actual site rather than treated as a one-mix-fits-all solution.
Choose from complete mixtures built around rapid annual cover, longer-lasting grass components, wildflowers, native species or economical establishment. If a complete blend is not needed, individual erosion-control species are available in the section below.
Diverse grass, clover and wildflower combination for exposed soils where erosion-control function and a flowering component are both desired.
View Product →Grass-and-clover erosion mix combining early establishment with additional grass components for broader seasonal cover.
View Product →A streamlined grass-and-clover mixture for projects where practical vegetative establishment and cost control are priorities.
View Product →Focused annual grass-and-clover blend for relatively quick vegetative coverage on disturbed and erosion-prone soils.
View Product →Native-grass-focused option for projects where California native species and longer-term vegetative cover are priorities.
View Product →Build around rainfall, irrigation, slope, planting equipment, soil conditions, desired persistence and project management requirements.
Build a Custom Mix →Individual species give you more control over the planting. Use them alone where one growth habit fits the site, or combine selected species into a custom program based on establishment speed, persistence, rooting pattern, moisture and management.
A fast-establishing cool-season grass commonly used where quick vegetative cover and dense fibrous rooting are important early in the erosion-control program.
View Product →Annual brome suited to dryland cover, range and erosion applications where seasonal establishment and natural reseeding may fit the management plan.
View Product →Fine-textured perennial grass with rhizomatous spreading ability. Useful where a lower-growing, more persistent grass component is desirable.
View Product →Early-maturing annual grass used in managed vineyard, orchard and erosion-control systems where seasonal cover and intentional natural reseeding fit the site.
View Product →Fine-leaved perennial bunchgrass useful for lower-input ground cover, reclamation and erosion-control plantings where a persistent grass is desired.
View Product →Cool-season cereal grass that can provide relatively quick biomass and surface cover in temporary or mixed erosion- control plantings when site conditions are appropriate.
View Product →The best erosion-control mixture depends on what the planting needs to accomplish and the conditions under which it must establish. A fast annual mix may be right for one project while a more persistent or native mix may be better for another.
Use the Seed AdvisorSuccessful vegetative erosion control depends on seedbed preparation, moisture, planting depth, seed-to-soil contact and protecting the site while the stand establishes.
Address major rills, compaction, debris and conditions that prevent seed-to-soil contact.
Time establishment around dependable rainfall or available irrigation whenever possible.
Follow the depth requirements of the selected species and avoid burying small seed excessively deep.
Limit unnecessary traffic and use mulch, blankets or other erosion-control measures where site conditions require additional protection.
Tell us the project location, approximate acreage, slope, soil conditions, available moisture and how you plan to plant it. Weaver Seed can help narrow down the most appropriate standard or custom option.
