{"product_id":"hopi-red-dye-amaranth-flower-seeds","title":"Hopi Red Dye Amaranth Flower Seeds","description":"\u003cp\u003eHopi Red Dye Amaranth ( Amaranthus cruentus ) is a tall, warm-season plant with deep red foliage and flower heads. The cultivar is associated with Hopi agricultural and dye traditions, and the mature flower material can be used in natural-dye projects. Its strong color and upright form also make it a dramatic ornamental for sunny beds. Direct-sow after frost danger has passed and the soil has begun to warm. Press the fine seed into a prepared seedbed and cover lightly. Choose full sun and well-drained soil, spacing plants about 12–18 inches apart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVariety Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical name:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eAmaranthus cruentus\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tender Annual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upright\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrop category:\u003c\/strong\u003e Flower seed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlower character:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hopi Red Dye Amaranth ( Amaranthus cruentus ) is a tall, warm-season plant with deep red foliage and flower heads.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecorded feature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Open-Pollinated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct format:\u003c\/strong\u003e Seed packet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSowing \u0026amp; Growing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full Sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting season:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStarting location:\u003c\/strong\u003e Direct Sow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecorded soil pH:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.6 - 7.0\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecorded USDA zones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5, 6, 7, 8, 9\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrepare a weed-reduced seedbed for Hopi Red Dye Amaranth Flower and use the recorded planting season, depth, and light requirements. Press shallow-sown seed into good soil contact and keep the seed zone from drying during establishment. Thin or transplant only when the growth habit and spacing call for it. Leave enough room for mature width and air movement. Bloom timing and final height can shift with sowing date, climate, soil, moisture, and competition, so use listed figures as planning ranges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlace Hopi Red Dye Amaranth Flower where its recorded height and growth habit fit the surrounding planting. Shorter companions can be positioned toward bed edges, while taller stems need room where they will not shade small seedlings too early. If cutting flowers, harvest with clean tools at the stage appropriate to the bloom form. If leaving flowers in place, observe how bloom sequence changes through the season and record which sowing date performed best at the site.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExplore related options in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/amaranth-seeds\"\u003eAmaranth Seeds collection\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"High Desert Seed and Gardens","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40223819268209,"sku":"SNV9004","price":5.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0061\/1391\/9089\/files\/SNV9004-HopiRedDyeAmaranth-1.jpg?v=1747081234","url":"https:\/\/www.groworganic.mom\/products\/hopi-red-dye-amaranth-flower-seeds","provider":"Grow Organic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
