Ornamental Amaranth Varieties with Lasting Impact

Amaranth seeds grow into bold, architectural plants that thrive in warm, sunny conditions. These varieties are easy to grow and require minimal maintenance once established, making them suitable for a wide range of garden styles. Whether planted as a focal point in the landscape or grown for cut and dried flowers, amaranth delivers reliable performance and striking results throughout the season.

Growing Amaranth from Seed

Amaranth thrives in warm weather and performs best in full sun with well-drained soil. Seeds can be sown directly outdoors after the last frost or started indoors several weeks earlier to get a head start on the season. Once established, amaranth is drought tolerant and continues to produce dramatic flower spikes well into late summer and fall. As a trusted Canadian seed shop, quality is always our top priority.
