I havent noticed one. But then it is right next to some brugmansias and bee balm. How can you compete with that?

I think it is an amarantha, maybe Josephs Coat? Got it at Lowes, of all places.

That was one of my MIL's favourites - Joseph's Coat amaranth. Sometimes it was labeled Summer Poinsettia. Very pretty - I remember her's as being about 4 ft. tall.

My amaranthus is about 4 inches tall here in Pa. Wow what a beauty you have. I planted some calendula(?) to keep my veggie plants happy.
