Creating a pocket prairie around a pond edge is easy with our Pond Edge Seed Packet. Each packet covers approximately 250 square feet and the native grasses and wildflowers in this mix grow well around a mostly dry pond edge that can see water a few times per year for short durations.

The grasses in this mix help with erosion control and the wildflowers bloom summer through early fall creating beauty, habitat and foraging for pollinators. Your pond never looked so good.
