Ornamental Purple Millet

18 years ago

I've read that ornamental purple millet will come back true from seed so I want to save some but I'm unsure when to gather them. They are visible on the seed heads but seem to still be firmly attached. Should I wait until they seem ready to fall off? Or will they ever reach that point?

Thanks for the response. I DID search the forum for "ornamental purple millet" but "purple majesty millet" did not come up. Sorry to be redundant.

That's OK, at least with me. : ) I've done the same thing, many times. Good luck with the millet.
