Sorghum nigricans ‘Milaan White’ | Great Millet Sorghum

Sorghum nigricans ‘Milaan White’ is a vigorous, grass-like annual grown for its large, dense white seed heads held on strong, upright stems. Highly decorative both fresh and dried, it is a favorite for bouquets, autumn arrangements, and dried flower work.

This heat-loving plant thrives once the soil has warmed in spring. Sorghum prefers a sunny position and well-drained soil and is notably drought-tolerant once established, making it easy to grow even in warmer summers.

An excellent structural element in cut-flower gardens and naturalistic plantings.
