Description
Sorghum is one of the toughest grain crops you can plant. Upright stalks carry heavy seed heads that feed people, poultry and wild birds, and the plants keep producing on dry ground where maize gives up. Also grown as a fast seasonal screen and as ornamental dried material for autumn arrangements.
