Erosion Control Plants

Spreading and colonizing plants that knit soil together on banks, slopes, and road cuts — the deep, fibrous roots that hold ground in place where turf and mulch wash out. This collection includes both shade and full-sun options, and both wet-tolerant and dry-sand species.

Why plant for erosion control

• Deep, binding roots — species chosen for root systems that anchor slopes, streambanks, and disturbed soil.
• Fast to establish — vigorous groundcovers and grasses that colonize bare ground quickly and close gaps before they gully.
• Right-sized to your site — sun and shade, wet and dry selections, so you can match the plant to the exposure.

Check the Wetland Indicator Status on each product page to match the plant to your site's moisture.
