I have long wanted this annual Amaranth in my garden, but never got around to planting it. Culpepper called it "flower gentle," and it does add a gentle feeling to the border. I started seeds in my basement under grow-lights, so I consider these plants to be my babies. I love to smooth tangles out the long flowers, they are like red dreadlocks. They look very cool in a vase, too, but I had to find a high shelf so that the red fronds could hang down. I think I will not ever be able to live without them in my garden!
