Sorghum bicolor

‘Coral’ sorghum, originally sourced from Experimental Farm Network, is a showy variety that is entering its third year of adaptation in Western North Carolina. Reliable for both grain and syrup production, this variety makes an excellent choice for growers interested in growing sorghum for a multitude of applications. It is exceptionally tolerant and self-sufficient, thriving under minimal intervention. With large, gorgeous deep red seed heads and fairly consistent 6-8ft. stalks, ‘Coral’ is a captivating variety with a place in any cultivation setting from the home garden to the market farm.

6 gram packet contains a minimum of 120 seeds.

SMALL FARM GROWN by Shelby Johnson, a member of the Appalachian Seed Growers Collective. A portion of proceeds from each packet benefits the Collective’s efforts to increase seed production capacity in Southern Appalachia and breed varieties that thrive in our region. As a passionate sorghum grower, Shelby trialed 29 varieties of sorghum in 2023 in collaboration with The Utopian Seed Project, and after all that, Coral was still her favorite!!
