reed canary grass

                   Reed canary grass (Phalaris arundinacea)

Sowed in spring 2011 and on its second year of doing nicely.
Surface sow onto moist compost/vermiculite/perlite (1:1:1), mist and cover with cling film.
Took about 2-4 weeks to germinate and has been going crazy ever since.
Dies down over winter and will happily survive the harshest of UK conditions outside.
When its died down I usually flame it to burn the stubble. Seems to like this, as it shows.
If we put this into the ground it would reach 2-3 meters in height, but as we ship these all over the world we keep them small, so you can plant them.

 Leaves of Reed canary grass contain DMT, 5 MeO DMT and related compounds. Levels of beta carbolines and hordenine have also been reported.


They are invasive, so dont plant them anywhere that this may cause problems.
