The pendulous tassels of 'Coral Fountain' will win you over to the world of unusual, dramatic flowers. These 18" "tassel flowers" in varying shades of coral, dry beautifully for everlasting arrangements, wreaths, or other crafts. Pollinators are attracted to the flowers, which eventually produce protein-rich, edible seeds that you can harvest for yourself or leave for your bird friends. Instructions inside the packet on how to harvest the seeds for eating.

    Didn't have any success with the coral amaranth - tried direct sowing as well as transplanting. The ones that were direct sowed never geminated. Those I transplanted just kinda died back. Odd, as my red Garnet amaranth (seed is a few years old) is growing fine. Bummed!
