Millet, Lime Light Spray

(85 days) Setaria italica -

A pretty foxtail type with densely packed panicles of small seeds clustered in an appealing lumpy form (think cauliflower) that make charming additions to floral displays and wreathes. Seed heads are dense clusters of small seeds that grow from 4-10” long in a drooping form that resembles a fox's tail. There are 4 major types of  millet which include Pearl (the most common grain type), Proso, Finger, and Foxtail (the type used for birdseed).  Millets may have been consumed by humans for about 7,000 years and potentially had "a pivotal role in the rise of multi-crop agriculture and settled farming societies". Interestingly, millet is the 5th most commonly cultivated grain crop in the world after wheat, rice, corn and barley. HEIRLOOM, SSF
