Name: Millet "Purple Majesty", Ornamental Millet

Botanical Name: Pennisetum glaucum

Zone: Annual

Exposure: Full Sun

Description: Purple Majesty ornamental millet looks equal parts ornamental grass and corn plant, but it's suffused with rich purple from top to bottom. Many strap-like leaves arch gracefully from the strong central stems, which grow 4 to 5 feet tall. The purple foliage is lovely on its own, but the striking flower spikes are a crowning glory. The footlong, densely packed flower spikes look like cattails dipped in grape juice. Purple Majesty makes a striking addition to cut flower bouquets. If left to mature on the plant, the spikes provide seed for birds in fall. All-America Selections committee picked it as a 2003 winner.

Care: This plant will need full sun to develop its deep purlple foliage. This one is very easy to grow.
