The slightly drooping, thick millet ears are initially light green, beautiful for bouquets. The lance-shaped leaves are quite wide. Due to its low height (70 cm), this variety is also particularly popular as a garden plant. Birds feast on it in autumn! By then, they have ripened to a beige-brown color.
