Description
Shoreline Seed Mix- Aquatic Plant Seeds
- Blend of beneficial pond plants
- Plant for shoreline stabilization
- Ideal aquatic plants for habitat improvement
The Pond & Lake Shoreline Seed Mix contains a specialized selection of grasses, sedges, and rushes to establish an erosion resistant root system at the water's edge.
Each species in the blend is selected for it's microhabitat on the shoreline. The sedges like to have their roots in the water, but the crown of the plant out of the water. With their extensive, dense root mass, they do the hard work of protecting against wave action. Sedge roots often extend 18" or more into the soil.
The rushes in the blend grow in water up to 6". The stems provide excellent habitat for bluegill fry and minnows. There is no need to worry about the rushes taking over the pond because they do not grow in deeper water. The rush species are also a favorite for source for birds and waterfowl.
