Amaranth 'Coral Fountain'
Draping coral seed heads for late summer and autumn arrangements. They dry down beautifully to burnt sienna pink. A farm favourite which visitors always gravitate towards.
Looks great as a cut flower but we love it as a garden plant which provides valuable food for the birds in the autumn. Amaranth is a big sturdy plant, growing up to 1.5m tall - you might need to stake it.
Sow: March-May undercover
Plant: 4 weeks after sowing
Harvest: Expect flowers July-Sept. Pick stems when tassels begin to extend. Stem length 1m
Vase: Strip foliage, expect 7 day vase life. To dry, strip off foliage, tie in a bunch and either leave in a bucket to dry or hang upside down. Keep out of direct sunlight.
0.25g (approx 375 seed). We pack seeds by weight, the number of seeds in a packet is an estimate.
Germ 88% Aug 25
All cut flower seeds are subject to 20% VAT which is added at checkout. If your order contains VAT-able goods, 20% VAT is also charged on shipping.
