The Good: Amaranthus has a beautiful draping effect that spills out of centerpieces or bouquets. Highly textured with beautiful cascade movement. We find that a little goes a long way so it's a great accent element.
The Bad: The foliage attached to Amaranthus is often too 'chewy' to use so we almost ALWAYS snip it off. The stems can be very large and heavy to work with, and it does not have a very long vase-life. It can often be inconsistent in length so it's not uncommon to cut the hanging part down (technically, not a bad thing)

Petal Icon reserves the right to make changes or substitutions. All substitutions are only done as a last resort, and only when the reasons for doing so are reasonable and genuine. For example, if a flower becomes unavailable (off crop), incorrect color, or not in good condition to grace a function, we will substitute a flower that has a similar color and price point.
