Amaranthus caudatus

Love this amaranthus, first time growing it, does it seed itself around or do you need to grow from seed every year? #advice

Looks amazing! The tails are gorgeous aren’t they 😍 They self seed so shouldn’t need to sow any next year 😊

Thanks Kerry @kez001uk I have some upright bronze ones too so will be delighted to have them selfseed everywhere next year 👍🏻😍

@sadieberg the upright ones are just as eye catching 🤩 especially the bronze ones. I’m growing a coral coloured one like this, they become a bit addictive 🤣

Not a bad thing to be addicted to, I will keep a look out for the coral coloured ones, they sound amazing. Are they flowering now? If so you'll have to post a pic 😍 @kez001uk

@sadieberg very true! Healthy addiction 😛I’ll tag you in a photo of the coral ones, and if you do fancy growing them I’m happy to send seed ☺️

I would love some seed Kerry, thankyou. Do you collect your seed in the autumn and sow in spring? @kez001uk

@sadieberg if you’d like to email me your address I’ll post some out to you 😁 kez001uk@gmail.com - I do and I sow it slightly later as they grow so fast when the weather warms up 😊
