Autumn's Touch
(Amaranthus cruentus)
|
|
|
Unique, bi-color amaranth!
Autumn's touch is a very stately plant with erect spikes of pistachio-green tipped with bronze. Combine it with Hot Biscuits and Opopeo for a dazzling display in the garden, or use it as a cut flower to add drama to any arrangement. We found it paired very well with sunflowers. Pinch the center to encourage side branching. Ht. 40". Avg. 35,500 seeds/oz. Packet: 100 seeds.
