Productinformation

Foxtail Millet or Setaria italica Red Jewel grass seeds
The reason why it’s often called foxtail does not need an explanation. This beautiful annual grass turns from green to red and does not only look good, but it also attracts a lot of birds when the seeds ripen. Besides growing it as ornamental grass you can also pick the foxtail-shaped flowerheads as filler for your bouquets. Once dried this grass will keep its dark color for months. The plants are very drought tolerant and grow best in full sun.

How do I grow Setaria italica red jewel from seed?
