At one point fairly common in the commercial trade, it has somewhat fallen off the map of late. Technically six-row spring wheat, and a fairly productive one at that, it is most commonly grown as an ornamental and filler on account of its black-tinted heads and graceful long awns. Holds its color especially well if evenly watered. Harvest for bouquets and wreaths early for the best black color! Our thanks to ID seed saver, Thumbs Heath. \u003cbr\u003e95 days.

It is now grown on significant acreage from CA north to BC. An excellent yielding early variety, it has an interesting bluish hue to the berries and seedheads. The grain has very high protein content at up to 16% but does not generally develop much useable gluten to make it a good stand-alone bread flour. It is wonderfully flavorful cooked as a whole grain and is even being used commercially by at least one company for pasta. Grows to about 4’ in height. \u003cbr\u003e90-95 days.

The answers to questions you were unaware you had are always the best anyway. We love this. It feels like there are unknown and possibly discoverable worlds hiding under the masses of waving wands and sparkler like green\/bronze explosions that arise from mounds of long green grass leaves. Frosted Explosion while exquisite on its own, is a voluptuous filler, can be used both fresh and dried and is almost like having your very own meadow. Perfect in pots and\/or interplanted among any of your favorite flowers. I know we ask this of you too often, but trust us on this one. 40” at peak maturity.
