Atriplex 'Copper Plume'

Copper Atriplex is a productive filler that shimmers in arrangements. Plants reach 30–60 cm (12–24") tall, producing plum-wine plumes on long, sturdy stems adorned with small, paper-thin seed pods. This easy-to-grow variety adds rich, earthy tones and unique texture to design work. The subtle red hues blend beautifully with a wide range of colours in bouquets. The foliage is also edible. Also known as plume, orach, or orache.
