Product Description

This seed is packed for the 2023 growing season. If stored in a cool, dry place, seeds can keep for 2 to 3 years.

Amaranth 'Mira'
Amaranthus caudatus

This unique amaranth variety has bi-colored green and rose tinted rope-like blooms that add a stunning texture to bouquets. Long, thick pendulous tassels resemble cascading dreadlocks, perfect for dramatic arrangements.

Details:
Plant type: annual
Height: 40-45”
Site: full sun
Days to maturity: 65-75 days
Plant spacing: 12”
Pinch: when 12” tall
Approx seeds per packet: 100 

How to Grow:
Start seed indoors in trays 4-6 weeks before last frost; transplant out after all danger of frost has passed. Amaranth can also be direct seeded into the garden once all danger of frost has passed.

Harvesting/Vase Life:
Harvest when seed heads get large and intensely colored. Remove most of the foliage so the colorful ropes are more visible. Expect a vase life of 7 days.

Once an order has been placed, we cannot add or subtract items. If you would like additional items not included in your original order, please place a new order. We are unable to combine separately placed orders.
