Uses

This mixture provides excellent erosion control in nearly any location including construction sites, roadsides, and forests recently devastated by fire where native perennial grasses are preferred.

Seeding Rates

Recommended seeding rate for this mixture is 43 pounds per acre or 1 lb per 1,000 square feet.

Establishment

For natural areas without irrigation, seed during fall and winter in advance of rains. Can be established anytime of the year with irrigation. Perennial grasses can stay green in summer months if occasionally irrigated.
