Amaranthus Dried
Dried stems, hand-harvested from our Norfolk farm
While most dried stems stand up straight, Amaranthus is designed to drape. This spectacular plant produces long, velvety ropes of deep crimson-burgundy flowers that cascade downwards like heavy chenille curtains.
If your dried flower arrangement feels a bit stiff or static, this is the solution. It draws the eye downwards, creating a beautiful "spilling" effect over the rim of a vase or the edge of a shelf. It is a favourite for autumn styling and adds a touch of opulent, gothic romance to weddings and wreaths.

🌿 About these Stems
These are the air-dried stems of Amaranthus caudatus. They are harvested when the "tassels" are long and fully coloured.
The Texture: The flower ropes feel dry but soft, almost like velvet or pipe cleaners. They are naturally flexible, allowing them to hang beautifully.
🎨 Styling Ideas
Amaranthus is all about gravity and flow:
- The Pedestal Vase: Place the Amaranthus near the rim of the vase so the tails hang down over the side. This softens the hard edge of the ceramic or glass.
- Cascading Bouquets: Essential for the "waterfall" wedding bouquet look. It adds movement as you walk down the aisle.
- Wreaths: Attach the stems at the bottom of a wreath so the tails trail downwards against a door or wall for a striking, medieval look.

Perfect Dried Companions
Create a balanced display by pairing the trailing Amaranthus with upright stems:
- 🌾 Dried Pampas Grass: The Texture Contrast. The upright, fluffy plumes of Pampas provide height, while the heavy, sleek ropes of Amaranthus provide the downward flow. A luxurious combination.
- 🌿 Dried Eucalyptus: The Green Foil. The muted grey-green of Eucalyptus leaves is the perfect backdrop for the intense burgundy red of the Amaranthus.
⚠️ Handle with Care
The tiny seeds inside the tassels can sometimes shed a little when moved vigorously. We recommend giving the bunch a very gentle shake outdoors before bringing it inside to place in your vase.
