Amaranthus paniculatus 'Oeschberg'
- Product number: 503400
- Origin: North America
- Latin: Amaranthus paniculatus
Thick, upright, dark red plumes. The top plume eventually droops, creating a funny trunk effect – the flower head looks like an elephant's head! The deep red colour harmonises perfectly with the reddish-brown foliage, which forms the base of the plant. Excellent for fresh cut flowers or as a dried flower. Height 50-70 cm.
