However it is related to corn in being a grass and in its growth habit.  The stalks are similar to corn but they do not produce ears. Seed heads appear from the tops of the plants instead of a tassel. Grows from 8-12' depending on fertility.  Makes a great living screen and\/or trellis for pole beans.  Seeds formed in a loose panicle in a pretty orange \/ red color and are useful as a homestead grown poultry feed, or for ornamental use in wreaths.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce stripped of the seed, the seed stalks are traditionally used to make a highly functional broom.  Simply bunch a few stalks tightly together with wire or twine. The Amish are noted as having invented the flat bottomed broom through ingeniously figuring out a way to stitch the rough stalks into a flat shape that most of the world still uses today.  Before that brooms were round in shape as you may have seen in old sketches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA rewarding crop to grow!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePacket- 1.5 g (~95 seeds)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBulk: 1 oz \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Seven Seeds Farm","offers":[{"title":"1.5 g","offer_id":10879450049,"sku":"BC1","price":5.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"1 oz","offer_id":10879450113,"sku":"BC2","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1095\/8052\/products\/Broom_Corn.jpg?v=1513231331"},{"product_id":"milo-black","title":"Milo, Black","description":"\u003ch3\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMILO, Black\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eSorghum bicolor\u003c\/em\u003e  (105 days)  \u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn excellent ornamental sorghum that produces black seeds on 7” heads on 6 ft. stalks.  Can be used fresh or dried for bouquets or wreaths.  Also a great bird seed producer.  Globally, milo is used interchangeably with corn to make toritillas (Central America), beer (Africa), couscous, and more.  Very easy to grow.  Direct seed.  SSF.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePacket (4g) \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Seven Seeds Farm","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":16399047745,"sku":"SG1","price":4.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1095\/8052\/products\/Milo_Black.jpg?v=1680035469"},{"product_id":"sorghum-kenyan-white","title":"Sorghum, Muhia Kenya","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cb id=\"docs-internal-guid-e8242c1a-7fff-c56a-4c31-48eb3c805a9b\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSorghum, Kenyan White \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb id=\"docs-internal-guid-e8242c1a-7fff-c56a-4c31-48eb3c805a9b\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e(95 days) \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003eSorghum bicolor\u003c\/em\u003e - \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSorghum is a large stout grass that grows up to 2.4 metres (7.9 ft) tall that is the world's 5th most planted cereal after wheat, corn, rice and barley. It has large bushy flowerheads or panicles that provide an edible starchy grain with up to 3,000 seeds in each flowerhead. It grows in warm climates worldwide for food and forage. The grain is used for food for humans; the plant is used for animal feed and ethanol production. Sorghum originated in Africa, and is now cultivated widely in tropical and subtropical regions. This variety was gathered in the Kenyan highlands and is highly uniform 6-8’ tall plants with ivory white, densely packed seed heads with about 3000 seeds per head. Impressive yields. Would make a great plant for growing your own poultry feed and stalks can be used to feed ruminants. De-seeded stalks can be used for broom making.
