Thankfully I have found out that the plant is actually an ornamental
millet which is supposed to be an annual which I find a bit strange as I
have had it over a year now which was grown from a seed. Still waiting
for it to flower though.


Many 'annuals' and 'biennials' are actually short-lived monocarpic
plants (i.e. they die after flowering), and will be annual in good
conditions and biennial in poor ones of if they germinate late.
Angelica is also one, but is classed as a perennial, because it
often takes 3 years to flower and seed.
