EcoFaux Green Amaranthus Spray
Amaranthus caudatus
Also known as Love Lies Bleeding or Pendant Amaranth, Green Amaranthus is actually a grain that develops long upright or trailing flowers. We designed this faux amaranthus spray in collaboration with author / stylist, Hilary Robertson and purposely incorporated realistic details of faded leaves and petals, as well as bug holes to capture nature’s nuance.
Arrange this faux amaranthus spray in a dramatic, tall vase, such as our Black Novah Pitcher. The arrangement in the White Buranchi Vase features four sprays of the Green Amaranthus.
Note that the stems and flower heads of this faux amaranthus spray are flexible, and can be cut with strong, heavy-duty clippers. Petals and leaves are made of upcycled fabric from PET plastic bottles, while the stems and leaf bones are Recycled Polyethylene (rPE). These are assembled by hand from ethical producers in China.

Alex Bates is a design maven and obsessive gardener with a lifetime’s experience developing hand-crafted goods and brands that do good. She’s also a serial collaborator who brings people from all walks of the design and artisan worlds together.
Mike and Alex were introduced by a mutual friend and quickly realized they shared not just a love of nature but also a vision for a new kind of company. One that designed and curated the beautiful, meaningful, purposeful things you need to make a natural home.
Mike and Alex put on their thinking/designing/gardening caps and named the new company “Bloomist”, a nod to their commitment to helping artists, artisans, and makers flourish.
