About this variety
Easy, productive beaded plumes.
Cut early for bright green, bead-like tassels, or later for an autumn look as heads take on purple and gold and arch more deeply. Plumes are about 4–7" long, depending on when you cut.
Even plants are good fresh or dried. It looks a little like broomcorn but grows faster and stays a far more manageable size.
Ready to cut about 65–75 days from sowing, on plants 48–58" tall. Open-pollinated.
