Description
Lady Lavender is a charming globe amaranth adorned with petite, perfectly rounded blooms in soft lavender-purple shades. Its papery, clover-like flowers hold their colour beautifully, both in the garden and when cut for bouquets, adding a lovely touch of texture and whimsy to floral designs. Easy to grow and wonderfully long-lasting, ‘Lady Lavender’ is a favourite for cutting gardens, where its delicate blooms bring a dreamy, vintage feel to summer arrangements. Its stems also dry beautifully, making it a wonderful choice for everlasting bouquets.

Harvesting
Cut-flower— Harvest when the stem is rigid and firm right below the flower head, meaning the entire upper stem moves solidly without the bloom flopping around. If the flower head feels wobbly, floppy and the stem bends easily, the flowers are not ready to harvest yet.
Drying—Harvest globe amaranth for drying when the flower heads are completely open, brightly coloured, and feel firm to the touch.
