WHY GROW FOXTAIL MILLET?

GROWING INSTRUCTIONS

• When to Sow: Spring (April–May) after the danger of frost has passed.

• Sowing: Sow seeds 0.5cm deep directly into well-drained soil in a sunny position.

• Indoor Start: Can be started indoors 4 weeks early in peat pots (millet doesn't like its roots disturbed, so plant the whole pot out).

• Germination: Fast and vigorous, typically appearing within 7–14 days.

• Care: Thrives in full sun. Once established, it is remarkably heat and drought-tolerant.
