Millet Planter 12"

Millet, commonly called pearl millet, is an ornamental plant used to add height and a splash of color to gardens. The plant is leafy with an upright growth habit, producing long, slender deep purple foliage, stems, and flower plumes. Millet grows best in hot climates, but not necessarily humid climates, and requires full sun and moist, neutral soil. If you leave seed heads on the flower spikes to mature and dry out, your backyard birds will feast on the pearl-like seeds, as millet is a popular grain used in birdseed mixes.

• Bloom Time: Late summer to fall/frost
