Sowing & growing

You can easily grow amaranth yourself:

• Sow early: 4–6 weeks before the last spring frost. Germinates in the light, so do not cover the seeds.

• Plant out: after risk of frost (May)

Care in the garden

• Location: full sun

• Planting distance: ± 30 cm

• Height: 120–180 cm

• Flowering time: approx. 65–75 days after sowing

Give the plants space and sun, and they will do the rest themselves.

In the picking garden & vase

This amaranth is a real eye-catcher:

• Harvest when the flower ears have grown nicely

• For dried flowers : let them dry upside down in an airy place

• Combines beautifully with grasses, dahlias and other autumn flowers
