Tallest hybridus X giant amaranth cross in the main garden. During the heatwave a few weeks ago, where we had several days over a 100 degrees, this plant actually collapsed. There were two large splits in the stem near the base of the plant and I found the plant flat on the ground when I came home. I propped it back up and used metal tree twist ties to put pressure on the splits at the base. The splits sealed up and the plant started growing again. AMAZING!
