Darkest red amaranth in our trials.
Ideal color and form for late summer and fall arrangements. More useful than other upright types because of its gracefully arched, feathery plumes. Dark red, arched, and airy flower heads. When plants are young and leaves are tender, the foliage makes a nice edible green. Also known simply as amaranth.
