Pennisetum glaucum Jester

A spring planting brings a summer-long harvest of beauty as the chartreuse seedlings of the Ornamental Millet ‘Jester’ mature into 3–4ft, clustered stalks of ribbon-like, purple foliage.

 They are topped in early summer by 12in, purple seed spikes that are quite handsome in dried arrangements. Eye-catching and original as a temporary hedge, border accent, or key feature in containers with other annuals.
