Flower Amaranth Hot Biscuits is a prolific, easy-to-grow cut flower filler that transforms gardens with abundant bronze-to-chestnut colored plumes — perfect for autumn bouquets and dramatic floral arrangements. These tall, well-branched, heat-loving plants reach approximately 48 inches and thrive in warm conditions, producing armloads of blooms throughout the season. Expect harvestable blooms in about 70 days. For maximum branching and flower production, pinch out the center bud when plants are young — this simple technique encourages fuller, bushier growth and dramatically increases your harvest. Hot Biscuits excels in hot, sunny locations where other flowers struggle, making it ideal for challenging growing zones and drought-prone gardens.

Germination Rate: 98%. Test Date: 5/26. JSS.

Planting Tips for Success

• Sunlight: Full sun — amaranth loves heat and thrives with 6–8+ hours of direct sunlight daily.
• Soil: Well-drained soil with a pH of 6.0–7.5. Tolerates poor soils; avoid waterlogged conditions.
• Planting: Direct sow after last frost when soil is warm (65°F+). Can start indoors 4–6 weeks before last frost. Press seeds lightly into soil surface — needs light to germinate.
• Spacing: Thin to 12–18 inches apart; wider spacing promotes better branching and larger plumes.
• Watering: Water regularly until established; drought-tolerant once mature. Avoid overwatering.
• Fertilizing: Light balanced fertilizer at planting; avoid excess nitrogen which promotes foliage over blooms.
• Support: Stake tall plants in windy areas to protect the plumes from wind damage.
• Harvesting: Pinch center bud early for maximum branching. Cut plumes for fresh arrangements when fully colored. For drying, harvest just before peak color and hang upside down in a warm, dry location.
