We have several acres of newly cleared field and thinned woodland that I would like to plant with prairie grasses (big & little bluestem, sheep fescue, etc.) wildflowers and sedges. Plugging and purchasing individual ornamental grasses from garden centers on such a scale would be cost prohibitive so I need to find a source for bulk seeds. Did locate a German source if necessary but prefer U.S. seed source.

Also, any recommendations as to types of fast growing grasses to plant on sloped site for erosion control, drought resistant, humidity tolerant and grazing pressure in cold zone 7, heat zone 7. Recommendations on woodland sedges and grasses would also be appreciated.

Thank you.

there are many threads on the site that address these questions indirectly, so maybe a search will also yield what you are looking for.
