The more you cut, the more they bloom. This colorful blend becomes even more vibrant when pollinators discover it! Flowers last up to 2 weeks in the vase and are perfect for drying. Also known as globe amaranth, the tough plants don’t flinch at hot, humid weather or even drought. A perennial in USDA zones 9-11, although often grown as an annual. Plants grow up to 24″-26″ tall and produce flowers that bloom from summer to frost. Prefers full sun exposure.
