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.
Sugar Drip     New!
Big 10’-12’ tall plants produce large heads with edible red seeds. This old variety receives its name from the sweet juice that is in the stalk of each plant; this juice was boiled down in many rural areas of the Southeastern United States to make the famous sorghum syrup that was a staple on the morning’s pancakes and cornbread. This strain has now became very rare.
