  • Amaranthus care tips

    Amaranth is a great planting solution for full-sun locations that need a big splash of color. Bright sunlight is essential for this plant to thrive; it will produce fewer flowers and weak stems when planted in shade. Although it can take full sun, Amaranthus still needs late afternoon shade. Even though this plant loves to soak up the sun, Amaranthus doesn't tolerate drought well, so plant it where you can easily water it. Be sure to give Amaranthus plenty of space to expand as the season progresses
