Grass Seed Blend for erosion control on a dam?

No irrigation, full sun, throw-and-grow, 4 seasons. Hell I'll take 2 seasons.
Mix of Creeping Red and Bermuda? Zone 8 east of ATL.
What's the DOT throw out on the roadways?

I bet a TTF/KBG mix would be the ticket.
Probably even better than Bermuda.
I’m second guessing. Irrigation might be needed in the summer months.
Will you be cutting the grass at all? Bermuda would get really thin otherwise.

Likely Annual Rye

Bush hogged at least once a year. But not regularly mowed.
Also, I don't know grass acronyms so spelling out the full name of the grass seed would be really helpful to me.

Tall Fescue/Kentucky Bluegrass mix.
But now that you say it won’t regularly be mowed, perhaps Bahia could be the best option? It’s a cow pasture grass like annual rye.
There’s a very recent thread about it. Just look a few posts down from yours.

Check it out! University of Florida:

Pensacola' bahiagrass was selected in Pensacola, Florida, in 1935 and is the most widely grown bahiagrass in pastures. It has an extensive root system, which imparts excellent stress tolerance. It tolerates both hot and cold temperatures well. It produces more seed heads than 'Argentine', which reduces its desirability for use as a lawn grass but makes it suitable for roadside plantings. It has longer and narrower leaf blades than 'Argentine'. Pensacola holds color and resists winter dormancy better than other bahiagrasses.

You’ll need water to get any seed to grow. Consider that when you’re putting it down

Would you consider it a "throw and grow"? Other than the price tag I just looked up, this might be the ticket.

What about carpetgrass? Isn't that what they have on highways?
