Amaranth 'Mira'

A true garden standout, Mira amaranth dazzles with multi-coloured foliage in shades of rose, cream, and green—like a living bouquet. Grown for its vibrant, ornamental leaves and blooms, this variety adds bold texture and colour contrast to garden beds, borders, and arrangements. Easy to grow and heat-tolerant, Mira thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. Harvest the young leaves for tender, edible greens, or let it reach full height for a dramatic, showstopping display. Also known as Tassel Flower.
