Thrives in the same full sun, low water conditions as Globe Amaranth
Start Globe Amaranth indoors about 4 weeks before your last frost, keeping seeds in warm soil (around 20–25 °C). Seeds usually come up in around 7 days. Move seedlings out once the danger of frost has passed, in full sun, spaced about 25 cm apart. Expect the first blooms in roughly 60 days.
