The tall, sturdy stalks are topped with graceful, sweeping seed heads that mature to a beautiful golden hue, contrasting attractively with the small, tannish-brown seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeveloped by Professor Henry Hadley of the University of Illinois, T115 is a traditional broomcorn strain preserved for its distinctive characteristics and practical value.
