‘Purple Majesty’ Millet: Hybrid Vigor, But Seeds Won’t Come True

This 2003 All-America Selections Gold Medal winner is an F1 hybrid—seedlings will vary, some not purple at all. It has a four-week “green period” before foliage turns purple. Collect seeds when swollen (or birds peck them); wrap heads in cheesecloth. Let seeds drop easily, then store dry and cool. Plant in sunny spot mid-April next year.
