Globe Amaranth
Colorful, papery flower heads from summer to frost are a butterfly magnet, whether grown in the garden or in containers. Though plants typically reach 18 inches or taller, also look for compact 6-10 inch varieties for a tidy edge to the garden or walkway. Taller varieties have an open, branching form and work well both in mid-garden or as a see-through plant at garden's edge. An excellent and long-lasting cut flower; dried blooms will retain their color.
