Coral Fountain Amaranth

Amaranthus cadatus

Certified Organic

Cascading plumes of coral strike a dramatic tone in any landscape.

Amaranth, one of the most nutritious of the ancient grains, is also one of the most beautiful. Though many amaranths have been selected for yield and adaptation to local climate, some have also been bred to accentuate their ornamental qualities. Prized cultivars produce giant vertical spires, huge walls of colorful spikes, and, in the case of Coral Fountain, showy, cascading plumes. The stunning plants feature draping blooms in a peach-coral-amber hue that deepens as the season moves along. As the art suggests, this variety makes a dramatic cut flower.

Growing instructions
Direct sow in the spring after threat of frost has passed in a sunny, well-drained spot. Thin seedlings to 6-10 inches apart. Amaranth tolerates fair fertility and dry conditions, but more fertility and moderate water will yield lush and tall plants. Height varies with the amount of fertility in the soil. Taller plants may require a bit of staking to keep them from flopping over.

    These germinated and grew very well, but the color is a VERY muted choral, I think it is a popular color with weddings and decorating being all about beige and less bright colors right now but that's not my style, so I just wish the flower itself was brighter, because it gets lost among the other bright booms. But if you want muted colors this will be perfect for you! Next year I will choose a different color though.
