Amaranth 'Green Tails'
Amaranthus caudatus ‘Viridis’
4-inch pot
 
A unique and eye-catching annual, Green Tails Amaranth produces long, cascading tassels of chartreuse-green flowers that drape elegantly from tall stems. The unusual green color adds a fresh, modern look to garden plantings and pairs beautifully with both bold and pastel tones. Its flowing, rope-like blooms create movement and are especially valued for cutting and drying.
 
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 tall, upright habit with trailing flowers makes it ideal for the back of borders or as a standout in cutting gardens.
