Beverly, can you post a picture? It is always fun to see what you are calling s o gorgeous. Jeanette
Mine are not full grown yet but I have seen what they can become. Here is a picture of mine now and can't wait to get one later.
and some more - depending on whether or not I have them in the sun or shade - the color varies. Here are some examples - all from the same six pack and yet colors are different now - not when I put them in the ground.
Excuse the foggy exposure - a/c indoors and heat outdoors fogged the camera.
and another
I have Purple Amaranth, or Mexican Grain Amaranth (Amaranthus cruentus). I love it's purple stems and leaves and blooms (ok, actually they are more burgundy, but stunning nonetheless).

Let me know if you're interested.

Beverly, are yours Amaranth? They don't look anything like the others posted. They all are beautiful. Yours looks almost like a dahlia, or a crinkely poinsetta. The others are pretty also.
Jeanette
Jeanette, yes, my plants are amaranthus. They are the Early Splendor variety. At least, that is what they are called in Texas. They do favor a poinsetta bloom. They vary so due to sun/shade.
Check in the plant data base and you will see under Early Splendor the same plant only taller. They get up to approximately 3 feet. Don't know that mine will have time to get that tall, but who knows.
