How to Grow
Start Amaranthus 'Caudatus Green' seeds indoors on a sunny windowsill between February and June, ensuring they have warm, well-drained soil to encourage germination. This annual thrives in full sun and is suitable for balconies, containers, or garden beds where it can be showcased for its elegant cascading foliage.
Sowing
Sow the seeds thinly in warm, damp, well-drained soil, lightly covering them to maintain moisture and warmth essential for germination. Keeping them on a sunny windowsill during sowing months from February to June supports healthy seedling emergence.
Growing
Once seedlings appear, thin them out to provide enough space for growth, ideally transferring to containers of at least 30 cm or planting in garden beds. This helps accommodate their spread and maintains the plant's elegant form during the growing months of July to September.
Plant care
Keep the soil consistently moist until the plants are established, then reduce watering slightly as Amaranthus 'Caudatus Green' is relatively drought tolerant. Regular watering combined with occasional thinning ensures robust growth, and situating the plants in full sun maximises their ornamental foliage display.
