A show-stopping trailing variety, Amaranthus ‘Coral Fountain’ cascades in dramatic ropes of soft coral-pink blooms, spilling elegantly from tall plants like a botanical chandelier. Its graceful, drooping tassels add texture and movement to late-summer bouquets, while in the garden, it brings both structure and romance. A favourite for event work and statement arrangements.
Best for: Bold summer bouquets, garden drama, cascading installations and textures
Approx 50 seeds per packet
