Grass Blue Eyed A delightful little Iris relative from the coast of California. Tufts of narrow, upright bluish-green leaves lend a casual air to the flower bed or rock garden.

~Purple Jester Millet~ This award-winning new Ornamental Millet (Jester) offers spring leaves of bright chartreuse that mature through all shades of red and bronze into a burgundy-purple. Denser, bushier, and more compact than Purple Majesty, this ornamental grass is topped with long, dramatic purple seedheads in early summer, adding bold color to any partly-shaded setting. The foliage is really beautiful from the moment it opens bright chartreuse in spring (and these seeds germinate in just a few days, springing right up in the garden!), and it changes to shades of red and bronze before darkening into a burgundy-purple richness. The seedheads arrive in early summer, very spiky in 9 to 12 inch plumes that are ideal in fresh and dried arrangements. Even a small planting of this ornamental grass is quite striking, and a large display is breathtaking! Jester is quite stocky and symmetrical. As it matures it reaches about 42 inches tall and 36 inches wide, with three main stalks and excellent branching. If you're familiar with the popular Purple Majesty, (a close relation of Jester and a fine companion planting!), you'll find Jester slightly shorter, far bushier, and a week or two later to flower. 5 seed Purple Jester Millet $2.00
