Amaranthus cruentus

A striking addition to any garden, Amaranthus ‘Arabian Red’ is celebrated for its dramatic, deep burgundy foliage and cascading flower spikes. This bold ornamental annual grows quickly, reaching heights of 80–120 cm, making it perfect for adding height and rich color to borders, containers, or cut flower arrangements. Thriving in full sun and well-drained soil, it tolerates heat and drought once established, making it ideal for warmer climates. Its flowing, velvety blooms create a luxurious, tropical feel and attract pollinators, while its long-lasting stems are perfect for striking floral displays.
