When first introduced, Ornamental Millet was quite a departure for both growers and gardeners. But in the same manner that ornamental grasses have increased in popularity, this genus has followed suit. Used extensively in the landscape trade, as well as with home owners who are turning more towards exterior decorating, the attractive deep purple foliage, stems and flower plumes of this corn-like plant is a perfect fit in many landscape and garden settings.
