Why Choose Green Tails Amaranth?

• Cascading flower form: Trailing tassels bring flowing lines and distinctive texture to planting beds and arrangements.
• Lime-green color: Fresh blooms provide a lively contrast to pink, purple, and warm-colored flowers.
• Fresh and dried versatility: Enjoy green stems in bouquets and light tan tassels in dried displays.
• Tall garden presence: Approximately 50-inch plants add height behind shorter border flowers.
• Heirloom seed: An open-pollinated option for gardeners who enjoy growing traditional varieties.

Planting Tips for Success

• Timing: Sow after frost danger passes and the soil warms, or start indoors according to packet instructions. Harden off indoor-grown seedlings before transplanting.
• Sunlight: Choose a sunny site with room for mature plants.
• Soil: Prepare well-drained soil and remove competing weeds before sowing.
• Sowing and spacing: Follow packet directions for these small seeds, covering only as directed. Thin seedlings to the recommended spacing for good airflow.
• Watering: Keep the seedbed evenly moist during establishment. Water established plants at soil level as needed without leaving roots waterlogged.
• Support: In exposed locations, stake tall stems or use flower-support netting before plants become top-heavy.
• Fertilizing: Base feeding on soil conditions and fertilizer label instructions. Avoid excessive nitrogen that encourages foliage at the expense of flowers.
• Cutting: Harvest suitable stems with clean snips and place fresh cuts promptly in clean water.
• Drying: Hang small bundles in a dry, shaded, well-ventilated place. Expect green flowers to fade toward light tan as they cure.
