Sorghum bicolor

White Sorghum is a biodynamic and organic traditional grain sorghum (VNS) valued for its pale seeds, resilience and versatility. This hardy warm-season cereal has been grown for thousands of years and is well suited to low-input farming systems. Strong, upright plants are highly drought tolerant once established, making sorghum an excellent choice for hot, dry climates and regenerative agriculture. The gluten-free grain can be milled into flour, cooked whole, popped like popcorn or used in porridge and baked goods. It is also widely grown for animal fodder, poultry feed and as a productive cover crop.

Approximately 25–35 seeds per gram
Approximately 500 seeds per packet

When to Plant (Australia)

Tropics: September to February
Subtropics: September to January
Mild climates: October to December
Cold climates: Spring after frost

Planting / Sowing

Sow seed 20–30 mm deep into warm, well-drained soil once the danger of frost has passed and soil temperatures have reached at least 18°C. Plant in full sun, spacing plants 15–20 cm apart with rows 50–75 cm apart. Sorghum prefers consistent moisture during establishment but is remarkably drought tolerant once mature. Grain is ready to harvest when the seed heads have fully ripened and dried on the plant.
