Amaranthus Coral Fountain
The impressive flowers of Amaranthus Coral Fountain give a special touch to every floral arrangement. The flowers extend downwards, which offers many creative possibilities.

Tips
When to Sow Amaranthus
- Indoor sowing: From March-April to advance flowering.
- Direct outdoor sowing: From April/May, once the risk of frost has completely passed.
Sowing Method
- Sowing depth: Sow the small seeds shallowly and press them lightly without covering, as they need light to germinate.
- Spacing: Do not sow too densely. Thin young plants to a spacing of 30-40 cm to prevent overcrowding.
- Germination temperature: Between 18-22°C. Seeds usually germinate within 10-21 days.
Location and Soil
- Light: Full sun is ideal for strong growth and rich flowering.
- Soil: Suitable for any soil type as long as it is well-drained. Amaranthus grows best in fertile soil but also performs well on poor soils.
Care
- Watering: Water regularly, especially during dry periods, to prolong flowering.
- Pinching: Pinch out the tip of young plants once they reach about 20-30 cm tall. This encourages the formation of more side shoots and increases flower production.
- Support: Larger varieties may require support to prevent them from falling over in strong winds.
Harvesting and Drying
- Harvest time: Cut the flowers when fully developed but still firm.
- Drying: Hang the flowers upside down in a dry, airy place to dry for use in dried flower arrangements.
- Combining: Amaranthus combines well with sunflowers, dahlias, and ornamental grasses for a natural, playful border.
How Many Seeds Do You Need Per Square Meter?
Each packet contains enough seeds for approximately 1 square meter of flowers. This varies by variety, so consider the mature size of the plants. A useful tip: don’t sow all at once. Spread sowing over several sessions. This extends the flowering season and provides a backup if the first sowing doesn’t work well. A single seed can grow into a full plant, so give seeds enough space to grow. Store seeds in a cool, dry place to keep them viable for 2 to 3 years.
