Tall, dark and handsome” describes this purple-leaved millet. Young plants are green-leaved, direct sunlight induces the purple leaf color. The plants are embellished with 20-30 cm (8-12″) flower spikes.

Stem and midrib of the foliage first turn purple after about 8 leaves have developed. Foliage turns dark purple when plants are moved from the greenhouse outside into full sun.

The immature spikes can be cut and used dramatically in floral arrangements. Left on the plant, the millet seed spike attracts birds that snack on the seed.

Purple Majesty is very easy to grow and is very tolerant of heat and low moisture. The purple leaf blades and spike are distinctly different from all other ornamentals.

Height: 125-150 cm (48-60″).

Supplied as raw (normal) seed.
