Canary Grass:
This is a long lasting (5-6 years) cover crop which, when matured, will grow into bushy clumps and reach up to 6 feet tall. There are two main species.
Phalaris Aquatica ~ Also known as HOLDFAST
Phalaris Arundinacea ~ Also known as REED CANARY GRASS ~ this is a native species and therefore may prove more winter hardy and suited to a wider range of soil types.
Canary Grass is available in one acre packs ~ the sowing rate is 2.5kg per acre. Sowing date April - May. Cover from September ~ February ... better cover in second and subsequent years. Often used to provide nesting cover.
