1/2 Pound Barley Seeds Hordeum vulgare

Barley is a versatile cool-season cereal grain grown for its attractive seed heads, cover crop value, and edible grain. This 1/2 pound package provides ample seed for garden beds, raised planters, or small plots, offering an easy-to-grow option for gardeners interested in grains or ornamental grasses.
Barley works well as a fast-growing cover crop, a backdrop in ornamental borders, and a source of homegrown grain for cooking and milling. It grows quickly in cool weather, matures into golden seed heads, and can be harvested for grain or left standing for visual interest and wildlife forage.
