(Amaranthus caudatus) Long ropes of lime-green, trailing tassels add texture and combine beautifully with both bright and pastel colour palettes. Amaranth is easy to grow and is a great choice for beginning gardeners.
Fantastic colour and texture for fresh bouquets or large containers, gorgeous in wedding bouquets! When dried, the blooms turn from green to a light tan colour that works well in fall arrangements. Common names include amaranth and tassel flower. Fresh or dried cut flower, back of bed, accent in borders, and containers.

These upstanding candelabras of copious violet-eyed sunshine-hued flowers stage a truly incandescent spectacle.. One of the few truly perennial species of mullein, it has sulphur-yellow blossoms with purple & red filaments. Blooms profusely on long flower stalks in mid- late summer. The graceful spikes make a lovely vertical accent in the garden and bloom over a very long flowering period & the pollinators will go crazy for it! Makes a majestic statement in the garden!
(Amaranthus gangeticus) Annual
Huge dark burgundy red plumes look as if an elephant is raising its trunk into the air. Long blooming spectacular plant that grows 3- 5', (152 cm) grabbing attention in the garden. It is also an excellent cut flower, the larger branches can be cut into smaller ones if desired. Absolutely stunning food plant! Seeds are edible and can be popped.
