Hot Biscuits' plumes rise in upright spikes of caramel-colored inflorescence, providing a welcomed variation of shape and color in the garden and make an eye-catching contrast in flower arrangements; especially great for autumn bouquets. Flowers attract pollinators and produce high-protein, edible seeds. (Instructions inside the packet for harvesting the seeds for eating.) If seed heads are left in the garden, birds will enjoy them in the fall. To create more branches and fuller plants, pinch plant tips when young. Also known as Prince's Feather, plants are heat tolerant and drought tolerant once established.

    I have grown BI seed for a few years now and it has never failed. Thanks for providing such a high quality product at reasonable prices.

    My first packet of these arrived empty as there was a hole in the packet and the box. However Botanical Interests replaced it immediately without issue. I have grown the burgundy variety before with great success and cannot wait to try these!

    Hot Biscuits is the first Amaranthus I have grown and I am hooked. Excellent germination. Fast growing. Stunning plants, I find myself gazing at them as I scan my plantings.
