Pennisetum glaucum

Annual. An OP organic selection of ornamental-grass celeb Purple Majesty from a seed grower we work with in CA. Quite similar to Purple Majesty in appearance, with the same striking deep purple seed spikes and corn-like foliage. Seedheads can be harvested immature for small purple cattail-like plumes, which make enthralling additions to bouquets. Left to mature, seed spikes grow nearly a foot long atop 4–5' plants! Tasty snacks for the birds.

Easy to grow, widely adapted, and notably drought tolerant. Cultivate like sunflowers.

Additional Information

Grains

Our grains selections are rare heirloom varieties especially chosen for small-scale production. Revived interest in food security and sovereignty inspires us to seek edible and heirloom grains. In the early 1800s Maine was the breadbasket of the U.S. Wheat and rice do not demand huge space and can be threshed with a little ingenuity. With good fertility, proper spacing and reasonable diligence, it is quite possible to harvest 10 lb of heirloom wheat from 100 plants in a 10x10' plot. A 100' row of rice can yield 6–10 lb.

Larger-scale growers and farmers, those seeking larger quantities of more mainstream varieties, or those looking for cover crops should check out the Organic Growers Supply list of Farm Seed.

Most of of our grains are also decorative in both form and color, making great accents to bouquets and wreaths. For more ornamental grains, see amaranths, ornamental millets and sorghum & broom corn.
