'Jester' ornamental millet
Pennisetum glaucum

'Jester' millet If you like the ornamental millet that’s become so popular the past few years, you’ll love ‘Jester’. Though not as tall as previous varieties, ‘Jester’ has a fuller habit and broad burgundy foliage that looks great all season. Sturdy flower spikes 9 to 12 inches long start in summer and last through fall. We really liked them in dried flower arrangements.
