Dhara Seeds, a big, trusted name in the USA seed market with a vast, high-quality selection, proudly offers Mennonite Sweet Cane Sorghum Seeds, a traditional heirloom variety known for its tall growth, high-sugar content, and versatility. This non-GMO, open-pollinated sorghum is perfect for home gardeners looking to grow a naturally sweet crop for syrup production, animal fodder, or grain use.
Sorghum bicolor, commonly known as Mennonite Sweet Cane Sorghum, is a tall-growing plant that reaches up to feet in height, producing slender, juicy stalks loaded with natural sugars. Traditionally grown for making sorghum syrup, it is also valued as a grain crop and animal fodder. The seeds can be used for flour, popped like popcorn, or saved for replanting, making this heirloom variety an excellent choice for sustainable gardening.
This variety thrives in full sun and well-draining, fertile soil with a pH between .8 and 7.0. It requires warm temperatures and grows best when planted after the last frost, as it is highly heat-tolerant. Sorghum performs well in both humid and dry climates, making it a resilient crop for many regions.
For best results, sow seeds directly into the garden once soil temperatures reach at least 6°F. Plant seeds ½ inch deep and space them to 6 inches apart in rows. Thin seedlings as needed to allow room for stalk development. A nitrogen-rich soil amendment can improve growth and yield.
Sorghum is drought-tolerant but benefits from regular watering, especially during germination and early growth stages. Water deeply once or twice a week to encourage strong root development. Mulching around the base of plants helps retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.
Mennonite Sweet Cane Sorghum thrives in USDA hardiness zones through . Globally, it grows best in warm, temperate to tropical climates with sufficient heat for sugar production.
