Growing Instructions

Sunlight: Full sun and warm weather support strong stalk growth and seed-head development.

Soil: Use well-drained soil with moderate fertility; sorghum tolerates a range of soil types once established.

Watering: Keep evenly moist during germination and establishment, then water deeply during prolonged dry periods.

Sowing Depth: Sow about one-half to one inch deep in warm soil.

Spacing: Space plants about six to twelve inches apart, depending on intended use and variety size.

Germination: Warm soil commonly supports germination in five to ten days.

Harvesting Time: Harvest grain when seed heads are mature and dry, or cut stalks earlier if grown for ornamental or other uses.

Days to Harvest: Many sorghum varieties mature in roughly ninety to one hundred twenty days.

Plant Height: Mature plants commonly grow several feet tall depending on variety.

Care Tips: Plant after soil warms, thin crowded seedlings, and maintain moisture during early growth and seed-head formation.
