Amaranthus ‘Early Splendour’ is a striking annual grown for its bold foliage, with large leaves flushed deep purple at the base and vivid crimson on top. Fast-growing to 90–120 cm, it thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, bringing a strong tropical contrast to borders, beds, or containers. Suited to warm summer conditions, it performs reliably in Tasmanian gardens, adding long-lasting colour and texture through the season.
