I wish it were in my garden, but it is not.
We saw it on the Research and Extension Center Garden Tour.
Have a wonderful week!

That is the most splendid plant. I've never seen one up close and personal. Every garden should have one!
ReplyDeleteMy Monday Mellow Yellows are of Indian women in colorful saris.
Beautiful colors, very bright. And even edible, though probably only popular with Asians.
ReplyDeleteWonderful colorful leaves.
ReplyDeleteI had one of these once. They are gorgeous.
ReplyDeletethis is the first time i've been to this site...i just loved your blog!
ReplyDeletebeautiful work! and your header is absolutely stunning.

Isn't that gorgeous!
ReplyDeletebeautiful colors Lea!
ReplyDeleteWow! Is it edible as well?
ReplyDeleteI checked several Internet sources and found that it is edible. Young leaves are used like spinach. Some varieties of Joseph's Coat make large seedheads that are used as grain.
DeleteBut for me personally, no I would not eat it.
Thanks for visiting my blog

I grew amaranthus, the one commonly known as 'Love Lies Bleeding,' some years ago, but the foliage was no where as beautiful as this one! What a decorative plant to have in the garden!
