Ornamental Millet
Pennisetum glaucum
Annual grass.
The striking purple-leaved blades and spikes, that resemble cattails, are distinctly different from all other ornamentals. Use the spikes in floral arrangements and keep the mature plant until fall, for Hallowe’en scenes. Easy to grow, young plants are green and turn dark purple in full sun.
