Globe amaranth, known in Tamil as vadamalli, is a tough, heat-loving annual bearing round, papery, clover-like flower heads in magenta, purple, pink, white and orange. Compact and bushy, it blooms tirelessly through India's hot and humid season when many flowers fade, making it invaluable for summer and monsoon colour. The everlasting blooms hold their shape and colour superbly when dried, and are widely used in garlands and arrangements. Drought-tolerant and undemanding once established, globe amaranth attracts butterflies and is a reliable, low-maintenance choice for borders, pots and cut and dried flower work.
