Comments
Pinch to encourage large side shoots and remove the excessively large center head (3); Similar to red root (pig weed) (2); Size of heads too large for small bouquets; Customers liked them for dried more than fresh; Good unusual specimen; We had a lot of variability. We had three different phenotypes from our seed packet!; Similar to amaranth!; Would sell better combined with red types; Different from A. caudatus in that it didn’t branch as freely.
