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","url":"https:\/\/www.siskiyouseeds.sbs\/products\/sorghum-red-broom-corn","provider":"Siskiyou Seeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
