Amaranth "Fercita" (Amaranthus cruentus)

This beautiful blend of colors ranging from rose to lime green is highly desirable for high end floral design. The muted colors compliment a variety of color schemes. Amaranth adds drama, texture and visual interest to bouquets and arrangements, or it can be dried for fall décor.

If you love the sophisticated color palette of the “Queen” series Zinnias, you’ll love “Fercita” Amaranth (last photo features “Fercita” Amaranth with “Queen Lime Red” Zinnias).
