Amaranth - Red Spike (3.5" pot)
Annual. Gracefully arched, feathery plumes will add a haze of rich, dark red colour from mid-summer to the first snowfall. Plant in groups to stunning effect, or make it a focal point in a mixed ornamental bed. An excellent cut flower, it is ideal for late summer and fall arrangements. The plumes are easily dried and can also be used for crafts. Plants are heat tolerant, huge, and easy to grow. Staking is strongly recommended. They prefer moderately fertile soil, but will tolerate any soil type, provided it is well-draining.
Location: Rear border, Cut flower garden, Container
Bloom Period: July to October
Height: 4-6’
Plant Spacing: 9-12”
