Hordeum vulgare

An incredibly ornamental variety from the Himalayas, both in the field and the kitchen. Following a surge of interest in small scale grain growing in our area, Tibetan purple is one of our first experiments. Grain heads are a stunning purple with long decorative awns. At almost 3’ tall  a  patch of  these in the breeze is something to behold. The deep purple hulless grain is relatively easy to thresh by hand. Resists lodging. Great in soups or for barley risotto. A stunner.

90-110 days.

Packet: 1/2 oz., additional bulk sizes.
