Canary Grass

Product number: 279FN0002UC

Canary Grass provides excellent medium to long term nesting cover for pheasant and partridge and can be used to both hold and drive birds.

  • It is useful in areas where annual planting is not an option, either because it is uneconomic or too difficult and is a good choice to use between tree rows in newly established woods.
  • Care must be taken to drill in wide enough rows to prevent the canary grass becoming too dense and therefore impassable for the birds.
  • Annual management should be undertaken to keep the rows clear and topping is beneficial if the grass becomes too tall, with the debris being removed.

Seed Rate 6kg/ha
