'Mixed Colours Broom' sorghum (Sorghum bicolor 'Mixed Colours Broom') is a vegetable for the food garden. It is typically grown as an annual. It is tender to cold, and the first hard frost will kill it. This plant likes full sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It grows at a rapid rate and has an arching habit. It is drought tolerant and attracts birds.

Pairs well with Jolene tomato, Striped Armenian cucumber, and Eryngo.
