Wetland Sod Species Mixes
We have seven different species mixes in our general inventory. Some are a three way mix between two Sedge species and one Rush species, while others are a monoculture of Bulrush.
-
Water Sedge, Beaked Sedge, and Common Spikerush
(Carex aquatilis, Carex utriculata, Eleocharus palustris)
One of our wetter wetland sod mixes.
Tolerates long periods of inundation.
Performs well on wide range of soils.
Aggressive rooting for great erosion control. Average stem height is 12” - 24” tall.

-
Nebraska Sedge, Woolly Sedge, and Arctic rush
(Carex nebrascensis, Carex pellita, Juncus arcticus)
Great erosion control.
Provides residual cover for nesting waterfowl.
Tolerant of changing hydrology.
Average stem height of 24”.
Water Depth: Moist soil to 6 inches deep
-
Woolly Sedge, Beaked Sedge, and Common Spikerush
(Carex pellita, Carex utriculata, Eleocharus palustris)
Great erosion control.
Tolerates long periods of inundation.
Resistant to waterfowl pressure.
Establishes fast.
Water Depth: Saturated soil to 6 inches deep
-
Nebraska Sedge, Beaked, Sedge, and Arctic rush
(Carex nebrascensis, Carex utriculata, Juncus arcticus)
Best all-around erosion control mix.

-
Hardstem Bulrush
(Schoenoplectus acutus)
Good off–shore barrier to wave activity.
Tolerates long periods of inundation.
Performs well across a range of soil pH and textures.
Provides wetland dependent songbird nesting habitat.
Foliage: densely growing, dark green cylindrical stems.

-
Panicled Bulrush
(Scirpus microcarpus)
