$120.00
Reed Canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea) is a hardy, cool-season perennial grass seed ideal for wetlands, erosion control, forage, and soil stabilization. High germination, adaptable growth, and reliable performance for conservation and agriculture.
Perfect for wetland restoration, erosion control, forage production, and soil stabilization, this grass seed establishes quickly with dense, tall growth and a deep root system that improves soil health and water infiltration.
Its high biomass yield makes it an excellent choice for forage and bioenergy, while its strong tolerance for wet soils and flood-prone areas makes it a reliable solution for conservation projects. With a broad USDA zone adaptability (3–9) and suitability across clay, loam, and moist soils, Reed Canarygrass thrives in diverse environments.
Whether you’re restoring land, managing pastures, or seeking a sustainable grass solution, Reed Canarygrass delivers dependable results with its hardy, nutrient-rich composition.
