Ornamental Millet (Pennisetum glaucum), with its deep purple leaves and striking seedheads, is a spectacular focal point in dried arrangements. The variety 'Purple Majesty' in 2003 won the All-America Selections Gold Medal Flower award. Soaring in popularity, it's grown by many gardeners nationwide and does beautifully in the Ozarks, growing to 5 feet or taller.
