Amaranthus cruentus 'Velvet Curtains' (amaranth - prince's feather)
Amaranth used to be the basic food of the old Inca’s (the seed contains proportionately more proteins than our well known grains...). In the garden it is a big, huge, sometimes really imposing plant with large, decorative upright tails. Moreover it yields impressive, richly coloured, material for flower arrangements. 'Velvet Curtain': Upright, dark red tails, dark red leaves - 150 cm. 150 s.
