3588 Red Spike ( Amaranthus cruentus )
Outstanding dark red cut flower material. Ideal color and form for late summer and fall arrangements. We found Red Spike to be more useful in arrangements than other amaranth varieties because of its gracefully arched, feathery plumes. When plants are young and leaves are tender, the foliage makes a nice edible green.
An annual plant growing 48-60 inches tall.
