Notes
'White Beauty Amaranth' (Amaranthus tricolor 'White Beauty Amaranth') is a vegetable for borders, containers, and food gardens. It is typically grown as an annual. Frost will kill it, so set it out only after the last frost in spring. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. Butterflies and bees visit the summer blooms, and the plant tolerates drought.
Pairs well with Coleosaurus coleus, Spider flower, Throatwort, and Blue Fortune Bill Williams Mountain giant hyssop.
