globe amaranth

Perfect heat tolerant plant with vibrant, fuzzy, globe shaped flowers in purple, white or pink produced on stiff stalks all summer. They are deer resistant, butterfly and hummingbird attractants, and also make a great cut and dried flower. Very versatile.

Grow in sunny areas, well-drained, amended soil or containers. Feed with a slow release fertilizer, Osmocote® or Plant-tone®. Follow label instructions. Deadhead and trim as needed to maintain better blooming and a tidy habit. Mulch 2″ to suppress weeds, retain moisture and protect against extremes of soil temperature.
