Facts About Baby's Breath

There are just three economically significant cultivars of amaranth. Today, amaranth may be found growing wild in portions of Africa, India, China, Russia, and the Americas. Despite its adaptability, this plant thrives best at higher elevations with mild temperatures and loose, well-drained soils. Amaranth is grown for its edible seed as well as its decorative value.

How to Care for Baby's Breath

The tall, bushy stem can reach a height of 10 feet or less, depending on the variety. Amaranth's wide, green or dark green leaves may be reddish or purple-veined or have a variety of designs. Maranth blooms are purple, red, or golden in color and resemble little grain buds. Amaranth blooms are particularly lovely in the summer and fall. Due to their dense blooms, self-pollinating plants such as amaranth produce seed heads with massive, rectangular forms. Each year, a single plant may produce up to 60.000 seeds. While amaranth shares many traits with other cereal grains, it is not a grain in the traditional sense. Amaranth seeds can be cultivated. The term amaranth comes from the Greek word amarath, which translates as "everlasting" or "not withering." Dried amaranth flower buds get their name from their vibrant color.
