Product Details
Setaria italica 'Red Jewel' Seeds

Setaria Red Jewel is a beautiful annual grass with burgundy foliage and soft foxtail shaped flower heads. It’s good in mixed borders with flowering perennials, great in the cutting garden for cut flower production and good for dried flowers too.

Like most grasses Setaria is easy to grow and quickly produces masses of stems for cutting. At the end of the season allow some seed heads to form on this ornamental millet and you'll have your own supply of nutritious food for your garden birds. For best results sow indoors in spring and plant out when the soil has warmed up in May.
