Amaranthus Josephs Coat

Amaranthus Josephs Coat 

 

Amaranthus Joseph Coat is beautiful when used in containers , edging, or mass plantings.. I highly recommend in mass plantings.

Joseph Coat is  so striking, it can be planted as a specimen plant. Splashes of burgundy red throughout the leaf structure. A Blazing whirl of fantastic color.

The top section is yellow and red splashes , very different and unusual plant.. The foliage is what is the real appeal of this plant.

Celebrate the fireworks of this spectacular centerpiece.

Amaranthus Joseph Coat  is also been called Summer Poinsettia.

Amaranthus Joseph Coat is heat and drought tolerant. Only fertilize minimally , as fertilizing with dull plant color.

Flower like form on the stem from top to bottom, but not real noticeable.

Grows to a height of 28-36 tall.. Plant in a sun to part sun area..Grow in well drained soil.

Amaranthus  blooms summer to fall.

These photos of the Amaranthus Joseph Coat are ones I planted in my garden a few years ago..

I found them to be pretty maintenance free, and worth growing for my flower gardens.

If you would like to try and grow these from seed, they are very tiny seeds and will like light for germination.

Tiny seeds mixed with sand are a great way to spread the seeds into flats, pots, etc..

Germinating Amaranthus Joseph Coat is pretty easy . In the photo below is some I started from seed.

Amaranthus Joseph Coat starts out as green seedlings but will soon change to splashes of
red/burgundy on the leaf sections.. as shown in the next photo below..
