Tall, textural, and richly toned, Amaranthus ‘Hot Biscuits’ brings a warm, earthy cinnamon-bronze hue to summer arrangements. Its upright, flame-like plumes rise from deep green foliage, offering height and contrast in both fresh and dried bouquets. A true workhorse in the cutting garden, it’s as striking in a wild autumnal bunch as it is dramatic in a single-stem display.
Best for: Bold vertical interest, drying for texture, adding warmth to floral palettes.
Approx 50 seeds per packet
