Autumn Palette

Amaranthus cruentus

Beautiful towers of autumn colours from greens to orange to rust! An excellent companion with Velvet Curtains amaranth, similar in height at about 4 feet with lots of seeds produced that the birds love. Beautiful bouquet filler and wonderful for harvest displays. Easy to grow from seed, long season of display.
