Caring for your Amaranthus

Straight from our growers' notes: how to unbox these stems, how to keep them, and what they look good next to.

Fresh amaranthus is thirsty. Give it water quickly and it will reward you.

Cut one to two inches off each stem and strip every leaf that would sit below the waterline. Then give them a deep drink in clean, cool water, not a shallow one. The trailing varieties in particular drink more than you expect, so check the level daily for the first few days.

Keep them cool and out of direct sun. If a stem looks limp on arrival, re-cut it and give it a couple of hours before you decide anything.

If you want to dry them instead, skip the water and hang them upside down in a dark, airy spot.

Recommended Delivery Date: 2 days before your event / Keep flowers away from excessive heat.

This is the stem to reach for when an arrangement needs to spill over an edge. The trailing varieties cascade on their own and give a compote or an urn instant movement without any mechanics.

They shed, so lay something down if you are working through a lot of them. They also dry well, which makes them a safe choice for an installation that has to hold for a few days.

Plays well with mums, burgundy ranunculus and roses.
