Bold, dramatic, and full of late-season warmth, Amaranthus cruentus ‘Autumn Touch’ brings rich texture and glowing color to sunny borders and cutting gardens with its lush plumes in shades of copper, bronze, and deep rosy red. The upright, branching plants make a strong statement in the garden, adding height and a wonderfully full presence that pairs beautifully with grasses, zinnias, and other warm-toned summer flowers. Easy to grow and quick to make an impact, this striking annual is also excellent for cutting, both fresh and dried. Best in full sun with reasonably fertile, well-drained soil and regular water, it thrives through the heat of summer and into fall. Growing about 3–4' tall, it lends bold color, movement, and a generous harvest for bouquets and arrangements.

Its richly toned plumes combine beautifully with oranges, golds, and burgundies for a lush planting or bouquet with plenty of texture and seasonal drama.
