Banks- Erosion Control

These plants are useful in areas where the soil tends to erode such as banks and raised areas. Plants, such as grasses, which have extensive fibrous root systems are good for holding soil in place. Other plants, such as Ivy, root as they spread and will in time form a mat of growth. Suckering plants will also work, by spreading underground.
