Everything about Lime Light is exquisitely elegant as well as unusual, from her misty green leaves to her extravagant, swaying seedheads. Easy to grow, Lime Light Spray Millet goes to seed in unison and is remarkably self-supporting. We love to harvest Lime Light for bouquets but you can certainly save her delectable seed too, though the birds may beat you to it!
