Same thing happened to me last year -- only had one plant survive. It made a nice flower plume thing -- kinda like a big corn cob. I saved the seeds and I still have them, because I never got round to sowing them, and I guess it's prolly too late. Yes, you'll get seeds, but beware that some say they don't come true. Others say they do. Still others say that some seeds come true and some don't. So you had the right idea when you mentioned finding out next Spring. Maybe I'll toss a few in somewhere just to see what they do. They really like the warm weather, and there's no shortage of that now.

Kat, the only thing I have found to be different is the millet heads are smaller both in over all length and circumference, they also do not dry as well either. I am not sure if you could tell with the pics I sent you. Some of the foliage is not as dark either. This year I did spring for 1,000 seed for $121. I have 1/2 of the millet sold already 5 for $3 to wholesalers that pick it up at the farm. Good luck. Bryan

Hi, I found a thread here on GW with a few people saying it comes true from seed. The seedlings start out green(other types of plants will show unusual coloration from the start.)so there is no way of knowing for sure until they are out growing in the sun. It seems chances are good though : ) Remy Here is a link that might be useful: Purple Majesty Question
