Globe Amaranth

Globe amaranth prefers a full sun, warm, and rather dry location. It is very heat-tolerant and relatively drought-tolerant.

The soil should be loose, sandy to loamy, and well-drained. A neutral to slightly alkaline pH value (approx. 6.0–7.5) is ideal. Waterlogging should be avoided.

The plant grows as an annual to short-lived perennial and usually reaches 20 to 60 cm in height.
It is primarily valued for its long-lasting, spherical flower heads.
