Ornamental Grass ‘Broomcorn Millet’
ETA: Shipping begins Mid February
Textural drama with a softly sculptural edge.
Ornamental Grass ‘Broomcorn Millet’ is one of those plants that instantly elevates a bouquet. Strong, upright stems are topped with elegantly arching seed heads, deep green with darkened tips, resembling miniature, drooping broom corn. The tasseled blooms add movement, contrast, and a slightly wild elegance that feels perfectly at home in late summer and autumn arrangements.
This annual grass is incredibly generous, producing for weeks from a single planting and offering usable stems at nearly every stage of growth. Whether harvested young for a subtle accent or fully elongated for bold texture, it solves the problem of needing something architectural that still feels natural and refined.
Because every bouquet benefits from a little structure and sway.

Seed Sowing & Growing Notes:
Start seeds indoors about 6 weeks before last frost. Transplant outdoors once all danger of frost has passed. This grass thrives in warm, sunny conditions and requires minimal fuss once established.
Harvesting & Vase Life:
Harvest stems at any stage, from just emerging to fully elongated, depending on the look you want. Expect a vase life of 7 to 10 days. For drying, harvest after blooms have released their pollen, then hang bundles upside down in a warm, dark place until fully dry.
A highly productive, endlessly versatile grass that brings texture, movement, and late-season beauty to the cutting garden.
