Miscanthus
Miscanthus is a fast-growing, hardy perennial grass ideal for creating dense, reliable and cost-effective game cover. Grown from rhizomes, it forms a tall, vigorous stand that provides exceptional holding cover for pheasants and other game birds, even in challenging conditions. Once established, Miscanthus offers a low-maintenance, long-term solution.
