Native to southern Asia, Foxtail Millet has been cultivated for thousands of years! In the US, Foxtail Millet is usally grown in the northern and western great plains. This warm-season annual can grow in semi-arid conditions and is often used for summer grazing. Floral enthusiasts admire the rustic look of its three to six inch golden heads and the interest it gives to arrangements.
