Why we love this flower:

  • Uses: Cut flower with dramatic appeal and dried flowers

Amaranthus, also known as Amaranth and Tassel Flower, is known for its long, cascading blooms that are perfect for adding drama and vertical height to arrangements. The Coral Fountain variety has pendulous ropes of a unique dusty pinkish-orange color.

While it can tolerate fair fertility and dry conditions, you will find with more fertile soil and moderate water the plants can grow up to 60" tall. Staking should be planned to keep the cascading blooms vertical.
