Amaranthus seeds — bold plumes and tassels

Amaranthus is one of the most dramatic flowers you can raise from seed — statuesque plants hung with long crimson tassels or upright plumes in red, gold and bronze, prized in borders and as cut stems. They make striking additions to our cut flower seed range. New to flowers? Our flower growing guide gets you started.

Few annuals bring as much architectural punch — the calendar shows when to sow.

Drama for borders and the vase

The trailing forms (love-lies-bleeding) and the upright plumed types both make superb fresh and dried flowers, holding their colour for weeks, while the sheer height makes amaranthus a centrepiece among bold ornamental flowers.

Growing amaranthus from seed

Sow under cover in spring or direct once the soil is warm, barely covering the small seed. Give it full sun, space to reach its full size, and steady moisture in dry spells — in good ground it grows fast and tall, with tassels lengthening right through late summer.

Building a statement border? Here's where to look next.

What is amaranthus grown for?
It is grown as an ornamental for its dramatic tassels and plumes, excellent both in the border and as fresh or dried cut flowers. How tall does amaranthus get?
Many garden types reach well over a metre, so give them space and a sunny, open spot to reach full size. When do I sow amaranthus seeds?
Sow under cover in spring or direct once the soil is warm; see our flower sowing calendar for timing. Can amaranthus be dried?
Yes — both the trailing tassels and upright plumes dry well and hold their colour for weeks.
