Orach Ruby & Gold Mix






Product Description
Orach ‘Ruby & Gold Mix’
Atriplex hortensis
Orach is one of the easiest to grow and most versatile plants for flower arranging. Early in the season, the leafy stems can be harvested for bouquets, but if plants are left to go to seed, they will produce long textural branches that are an amazing addition to arrangements. This special mix includes our two favorite varieties, ‘Golden’ and ‘Ruby Gold’ (pictured separately here), which both have eye-catching chartreuse foliage and seed wands in a range of dusty rose, muted cranberry, and sunbleached moss.

How to Grow:
Start indoors in trays 4 to 6 weeks before last frost; transplant out after all danger of frost has passed. Orach can also be direct-seeded into the garden once all danger of frost has passed.
Harvesting/Vase Life:
Can be harvested in the foliage stage or once seedpods have formed. Immediately after harvesting foliage, dip the bottom few inches of the stems in boiling water for 7 to 10 seconds, or use Quick Dip, then place into cool water. Seeded stems require no special treatment. Expect a vase life of 7 to 14 days.
