Growing Information
Growing Green Tails Amaranth
‘Green Tails,’ also known as Tassel Flower, is a distinctive amaranth prized for its long, drooping green tassels and dramatic garden presence. Pendant flower clusters continue elongating throughout the season, providing unusual texture and enduring color in beds, borders, and arrangements.
Plant ‘Green Tails’ seeds about ⅛ inch deep and space plants 12 to 18 inches apart. Grow in full sun. Germination typically takes 3 to 10 days. This heat- and drought-tolerant variety performs best in well-drained soil but adapts to a range of soil types.
Ready to bloom in about 80 days, enjoy the tassels as they lengthen and reach their best display stage. Cut stems fresh or preserve them for dried arrangements.
Distinctive, resilient, and long lasting, ‘Green Tails’ is an excellent choice for ornamental beds, borders, cut flower gardens, and everlasting arrangements.
