(105 days) Sprays of ornamental seedheads in gold, bronze, brown, black, burgundy, red and cream make classic autumnal displays. Birds love the small shiny seeds, which you might decide to weave into bird-feeder wreaths. To make natural straw brooms, comb seeds out of the dry sprays and tie the seedless heads together, using about 50 heads per broom. Plant stalks grow 7–9' tall, or taller; broom corn is actually sorghum, which looks and grows like corn but develops no ears. Originally from Africa, sorghum is cultured in the South for the sweet syrup of its stalks. In the ornamental trade it is used for large showy arrangements. For edible sorghum, see Texicoa. 70 seeds/g. ① NEW!
