'Purple Baron' Ornamental Millet

Botanical Name: pennisetum glaucum
Common Name: 'Purple Baron' ornamental millet

Fred Richards 2009 planter comments to follow: plugs kindly donated by Wagner's Greenhouse and reached 24" high x 14" wide; performed very poorly, setting attractive seed heads very early and little foliage, several failures. Even with removal of first seed heads, plants never flourished. I've grown this as a single point of interest in my home pampered bed where it did beautifully, bearing only two seed heads for the season.
