Though technically a variety of grass, Rox Orange Syrup sorghum grows a
dramatic and feathery field grain bursting with dense broom-like kernels of
classic pale white, alpine, and pearl. Known by a variety of names and
cultivated for multiple uses, sorghum has been the worlds fifth most exported
grain crop behind rice, wheat, corn, and barley. Rox Orange Syrup Cane sorghum
is a full sun crop performing best when sown directly outdoors after the final
frost date and should rarely, if ever, be transplanted. Plant 2-3 seeds 1 inch
deep and 3-4 inches apart in organically rich, well-drained soil in full sun.
Germinates in 10-21 days, thinning back to one plant every 12 inch as true
leaves establish. The plant is a grass growing similarly to corn.
