"Darkest red amaranth in our trials. Ideal color and form for late summer and fall arrangements. More useful than other upright types because of its gracefully arched, feathery plumes. Dark red arched and airy flower heads. When plants are young and leaves are tender, the foliage makes a nice edible green." 48-60" tall The photo and description are from Johnny's Selected Seeds, which is where I purchased the seed. They are an amazing resource for seeds, growing supplies, and reliable information, so it would be worth your time to check out their site! Seed purchased new and divided up into small packets.
