{"product_id":"red-seeded-broom-corn","title":"Red Seeded Broom Corn","description":"\u003cp\u003eRed Seeded is a beautiful heirloom broomcorn variety that grows an impressive 10–11 feet tall, producing long, upright heads of golden-tan brush adorned with rich, mahogany seeds. The vigorous plants develop numerous productive tillers, each contributing to a generous harvest of attractive broomcorn heads measuring approximately 21-25 inches long. The striking contrast between the warm, straw-colored brush and deep reddish-brown seeds makes this variety especially beautiful for traditional broom making and dried arrangements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRed Seeded has an unusual history preserved through Seed Savers Exchange. The variety was first listed in the 1983 Seed Savers Exchange Yearbook by an Oklahoma seed saver who had obtained the original seed from a broom purchased at an Ohio craft fair. Through the efforts of generations of seed savers, this remarkable variety has survived as an Exchange heirloom. It is maintained in the Seed Savers Exchange collection as accession #119305.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe long, sturdy brush of Red Seeded broomcorn is well suited for crafting traditional brooms, whisk brooms, and decorative arrangements. Harvest the heads while the brush is still supple, before the seeds have fully matured, for the best broom-making material. Alternatively, allow the heads to mature on the stalks to enjoy their beautiful mahogany-colored seeds in rustic dried bouquets and autumn displays. With its towering stature, abundant tillers, and handsome coloring, Red Seeded is a rewarding variety for gardeners and crafters alike. 120 days to harvest. Each packet contains a minimum of 100 seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Red Seeded Broom","offers":[{"title":"Packet (100 Seeds)","offer_id":67616700891385,"sku":null,"price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0955\/4450\/files\/red-seeded-broom-corn-seeds-1266600491.jpg?v=1794003910","url":"https:\/\/www.threshseed.com\/products\/red-seeded-broom-corn","provider":"Thresh Seed Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
