Amaranthus

Amaranth is a popular annual that works as a filler for bouquets and reliably livens up garden beds. It grows quickly, is easy to cultivate, and has an interesting structure. Depending on the species, it forms either upright plumes resembling fuzzy dusters or cascading vines that fall to the ground. For us, it is a staple that we can't imagine a season without. In terms of colors, you can choose from many shades, from fresh green and biscuit brown to deep burgundy or coral. These colors combine well with other flowers and stand out beautifully in autumn. They usually have sturdy stems, which makes them easy to work with when arranging flowers. Since it is a plant grown from seeds, you can choose the right propagation method. Some prefer starting them indoors, but direct sowing right into the flower bed works very well too.
