AW74 Broomcorn, Mixed Highlights
Brooms are made from a plant called broomcorn. Broomcorn is a type of sorghum plant. The tassels at the very top of the plant are what broom makers use to make brooms after the seeds have been removed. You can grow broomcorn for livestock feed and make brooms, whiskbrooms and other items from the sturdy seed heads and stalks. The best broomcorn selection we've seen that includes colors of red, natural, tan, cordevan and yellow.
Harvest when straw is still streaked with green and kernals are still soft to avoid heads shattering.
