How to Grow
Direct sow after all danger of frost has passed, once soil has warmed — amaranth is frost-tender. Keep soil consistently moist until germination. Once established, it's fairly drought-tolerant and needs little care. Cut trailing plumes fresh for bouquets, or let seed heads fully dry on the plant for flock treats and dried arrangements.
Good to Know
The dramatic trailing plumes will continue to lengthen as the season goes on — give it plenty of room and something nearby (like a fence line) to trail against for the fullest display.
