Amaranthus caudatus Pony Tails
Amaranthus caudatus ‘Pony Tails’ is a unique ornamental annual known for its long, pendulous flower spikes that resemble flowing tails. The elegant cascading tassels provide striking visual interest and texture in borders, containers, and cut flower arrangements. Thriving in sunny, well-drained soil, this variety is easy to grow and low-maintenance, making it a popular choice for both formal gardens and naturalistic landscapes. The nektar-rich blooms also attract pollinators, supporting eco-friendly gardening.
Sowing Instructions:
- Sow Outdoors: Directly sow seeds into finely prepared soil after all risk of frost has passed.
- Sow Indoors: For earlier blooms, start indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost date.
- Germination: Typically occurs in 10–14 days at 20–22°C.
- Spacing: Thin seedlings to 30–50cm apart once they are large enough to handle.
- Care: Keep the soil evenly moist until seedlings are established.
Growing Instructions:
- Light and Soil: Prefers full sun and fertile, well-drained soil.
- Watering: Water regularly, particularly during dry spells.
- Feeding: Minimal feeding is needed, but a general-purpose fertilizer may be applied if desired.
- Support: May require staking in exposed or windy locations.
Cultivation Instructions:
- Pruning: Pinch out the central stem to encourage side branching and a fuller plant.
- After Flowering: Deadhead spent blooms to prolong flowering, or leave a few plants to self-seed for next season.
- End of Season: Remove plants after flowering, or allow them to self-seed for a continuous display in the following years.
Amaranthus caudatus ‘Pony Tails’ is an eye-catching and easy-to-grow addition to any garden, offering dramatic cascading flowers and long-lasting beauty.
