Our Pond Edge native seed mix contains native grasses and wildflowers for a mostly dry pond edge that can see water a few times per year for short durations. Pond edges can be subject to erosion and the deep root systems of native grasses stabilize the soil once established. Native wildflowers add color and foraging for native bees, butterflies and other pollinators during the summer months and into early fall. This mix does contain some annual wildflower species for first year color.
