SORGHUM (Sorghum bicolor) 150 seeds per packet. Originally from Africa, which explains this plant’s preference for heat, and tolerance of drought. Sow in place, one half inch deep, in spring after conditions are warm. Rich soil with ample moisture suits the plant best. Allow 4-6 inch spacing in all directions. In autumn, before frost takes the plants, the canes can be cut in sections, stripped of their leaves, and pressed of their green juice which is then boiled down into syrup.
Black Amber
100 days. One of the oldest cane sorghums still on the market, named for its shiny black seeds. The 6-8’ stalks make a delicious golden sorghum syrup. We are happy to offer this sorghum that was a standard in early America, and is still used today.
