Notes
Sandhill amaranth (Amaranthus) is an annual for cut flower use and container planting. It is not cold-hardy and will not survive freezing temperatures. This plant likes full or part sun and average moisture. It blooms in early to late summer and again in early to late autumn, so it gives you color for a long season.
Pairs well with Black Velvet nasturtium, Snow Princess Calendula, and Red fescue.
