Globe Amaranth

Growing from seed

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.

Keep track of the seeds you own.
