Japanese Millet is a warm season annual grass that is perfect for wildlife habitat. It can grow as tall as 4 feet in under 60 days and can handle wet or flooded soil conditions, making it an excellent option for upland birds, waterfowl, and whitetail deer.
Japanese Millet typically grows 3–4 feet tall and, once fully mature, produces seed heads that serve as a valuable food source for pheasants, doves, turkey, and ducks. Warm soil conditions are required when planting, so be sure to wait until soil temperatures are at least 65 degrees Fahrenheit or higher.
