An exceptionally vibrant and ornamental variety, Amaranth ‘Perfecta’ is prized for its striking foliage. This upright, bushy annual showcases a captivating mix of four distinct leaf colors—bright yellow and deep crimson at the top, transitioning to rich green and chocolate brown on the lower portions. Due to natural variation, each plant exhibits unique color patterns, making it ideal for mass planting, borders, and cottage gardens. While its flowers are inconspicuous, its dramatic foliage provides lasting visual interest. Drought-tolerant and commonly referred to as Joseph’s Coat, this variety thrives in warm climates.
