100 Red Garnet Amaranth Seeds Amaranthus tricolor Ornamental Flower

Red Garnet Amaranth is a striking Amaranthus tricolor variety prized for its deep crimson leaves and upright, tassel-like flower heads. Plants form tall, architectural columns of rich burgundy foliage that add dramatic color and vertical interest to beds, borders, and cutting gardens. The long-lasting blooms and bold texture make it a favorite among gardeners who want a statement plant with minimal fuss.

This amaranth works beautifully in cottage-style plantings, wildflower meadows, and mixed annual borders, where it pairs well with sunflowers, cosmos, and zinnias. The tall heads can be used fresh or dried in floral arrangements, and the edible leaves are a traditional culinary green in many cultures. A warm-season annual, it grows quickly and thrives in full sun, making it an easy choice for gardeners seeking fast, colorful results.
