Orach - Copper Plume

This stunning orach was generously provided by Frank Morton of Wild Garden Seed.

Its striking leaves boast a vibrant acid green hue, while its stems feature delicate streaks of cranberry. 

For a perfect spring bouquet, harvest the young, leafy stems early in the growing season.

Alternatively, let the plants grow and you'll be treated to gorgeous, seed-filled stems that add a lovely touch to large, midsummer arrangements.

The seedpods themselves are a charming combination of dusty rose and sunbleached moss.
