broomcorn
Sweeper plant source
Broomcorn is a variety of sorghum grown for its long, stiff, fibrous flower stalks, which are bundled and bound to make brooms and brushes.
The plant doesn't produce edible grain like other sorghums—it's cultivated entirely for its bristly seed heads: The farmer planted ten acres of broomcorn for the broom factory.
