$80.00
Japanese Millet is specifically selected for its tolerance to flooded conditions. It can be successfully seeding into duck impoundments, marshlands, pond and lake edges and beaver ponds. This millet not only provides valuable forage for waterfowl and other wetland wildlife, but turkeys, doves, pheasant and songbirds also enjoy it for both food and habitat. For waterfowl, pair it with one of our exceptional corn varieties to round out the nutritional profile and increase attraction and dietary diversity. As a plant alone, it can grow up to 4 feet in 45 days.
