Broom Corn - Key Growing Information
CULTURE:
Sow directly anytime from the last frost date until mid-June, 1/8–1/2" deep and 2" apart, in rows 18–36" apart. When plants reach 4", thin them to 8–12" apart, depending on how you'll use them; wider spacing gives sturdier stalks.
HARVEST:
Cut any time after the seed heads form. Each plant produces about 5–10 stems, which work fresh or dried in autumn arrangements.
SEED SPECS:
Average seeds per lb.: 20,700.
PACKET:
100 seeds per packet, enough for about 10–16'.
