🌾 Amaranth
🌾 Botanical Name: Amaranthus spp.
🌾 Type: Hardy Annual

Amaranth is a striking and multi-purpose plant grown for its dramatic foliage, cascading flower plumes, and nutrient-rich seeds or leaves. Depending on the variety, Amaranth can be a showy ornamental or a valuable edible β€” or both! It thrives in warm, sunny spots and is highly adaptable, producing towering plants with vibrant red, green, bronze, or purple hues. Excellent for cut flower arrangements, edible landscapes, and pollinator-friendly gardens.

🌱 Note: Please specify if you’re growing ornamental (e.g., Love-Lies-Bleeding) or edible types (e.g., grain or leafy amaranth) for tailored sowing info.
