Pearl millet is a fast grower that can take advantage of short periods of good growing weather when corn or wheat fail. It is very drought-tolerant and easy to grow and harvest. Stalks can be fed to livestock, while seeds can be ground into porridge or flat breads. Pearl millet was domesticated in India 3000-5000 years ago. We received seeds for this beautiful variety with so much potential for low-input agriculture in our region from Rowen at Sierra Seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSeeds grown by Sonshine Acres in Emmett, Idaho. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e200 seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDirections:\u003c\/strong\u003e Direct seed after frost.
