Amaranth 'Coral Fountains'

Add graceful drama to your garden with Coral Fountains Amaranth. This stunning variety features cascading ropes of soft coral-pink blooms that spill from tall, elegant plants—perfect for garden borders, backdrops, or cutting gardens. A magnet for pollinators, it's as beneficial as it is beautiful. Grows best in full sun with well-drained soil. Excellent fresh or dried for long-lasting floral arrangements. Coral Fountains is a great complement to Green Tails (Emerald Tassels) and Love-Lies-Bleeding (Red Pearls). All have similar plant habits, days to maturity, and great presence in arrangements. Common names include amaranth and tassel flower.
