Chinese Giant Orange Amaranth
Amaranthus ‘Chinese Giant Orange’
4-inch pot
 
A bold and versatile annual, Chinese Giant Orange amaranth is prized for its tall, upright habit and vibrant orange to copper-toned plumes. The feathery flower heads rise above broad green foliage, creating strong vertical interest and a warm, glowing presence in the garden. The blooms are excellent for fresh cutting and are especially valued for drying, holding their color well in arrangements.
 
This variety thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, where it grows quickly and produces abundant blooms through the summer. It is heat tolerant and relatively low maintenance, requiring only regular watering during establishment. Its height and color make it an excellent backdrop or focal point in borders and cutting gardens.
