About Grass Seeds - Foxtail Millet 

Setaria italica

Seed Type Open Pollinated Seed

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.
