ATRIPLEX HORTENSIS
My first original Orach crush! Beautifully deep muted plum textured seedheads (& everything inbetween). Very very similar to Triple Purple, but I preferred the very very slightly muted less purple tones of the Copper.
Orach is such a versatile cut being harvestable at virtually all stages from first-cut for foliage, then later for its airy flowering spires or textural seedheads. Pinching is highly recommended, otherwise they quickly become giant unusable stems!
