Yes, it's really used to make brooms. It's very attractive, grows quite tall, and when ripe it is covered with little seeds of various colours. But I haven't decided what to do with the harvest.
Maybe I'll make a broom for Ron to use when Harry drops by for a pickup game of Quiddich in the air over the back yard.
A wreath would look pretty on the front door.
Or I could simply stand the coloured fronds in an earthenware jar for a simple yet attractive room decoration.
No, I think I'll make a rod, and let Ron try it out on my bottom.
On second thought, striking my body with that rod would knock the little kernels off, and send them flying in all directions. We'll have to conduct our horticultural experiment outside. Oooh!
Roll on, harvest time.
