Amaranthus cruentus 'Hot Biscuits' (Amaranth)

Enormous bronze to chestnut plumes have a very unique texture to them. A tall plant that loves the summer heat. Best to do an early pinch of the apical bud on the central stem to promote greater branching, and thus more blooms! Beautiful in the landscape, and perfect for flower arrangements. In the same Family as quinoa, so old blooms will eventually fall apart into those characteristic grains. *
