Amaranth Red Spike offers strikingly deep red flowers with gracefully arched, feathery plumes that bring sophisticated elegance to late summer and fall floral arrangements. Growing up to 60 inches tall, this commanding heirloom variety creates dramatic vertical interest and natural focal points in garden beds, borders, and cutting gardens. The distinctive feathery texture contrasts beautifully with other plants while providing exceptional material for fresh arrangements, dried flowers, and long-lasting bouquets. With a germination rate of 70% or higher, these non-GMO heirloom seeds establish reliably and confidently. Expect impressive blooms in approximately 75 days, providing extended color and cutting material throughout the season. Red Spike thrives in warm, sunny locations and tolerates heat and drought conditions better than many ornamental plants, making it perfect for challenging growing zones and low-maintenance gardens. Beyond ornamental appeal, Red Spike amaranth offers culinary versatility that extends its value. The tender young leaves are edible and delicious when harvested early, providing nutritious greens for salads, sautés, or soups. This dual-purpose characteristic makes Red Spike an excellent choice for gardeners seeking both stunning visual impact and practical harvests from a single plant. The tall, well-branched plants produce abundant flowers ideal for florists, home arrangers, and gardeners wanting prolific cutting material. Red Spike's rich color deepens as the season progresses, creating evolving beauty from mid-summer through fall frost.
