A great “green” to substitute spinach or lettuce in the heat of summer, this variety does triple duty - eat as greens when the leaves are young, enjoy as a 5 foot striking copper coloured ornamental, and harvest the amaranth seeds and cook the grain (well, technically a seed, like quinoa).

Growing recommendations
A heat loving plant. Seed 2-4 weeks before last frost and transplant when the days are warm and the risk of frost has passed. Can also be direct seeded in the early spring.

We're trialing and breeding new varieties!
This is the most challenging and thrilling part of our work.
The trialing allows us to test varieties of a same species side by side and determine which one(s) taste and perform the best.
Breeding and variety maintenance means selecting for traits that are desirable such as flavor, texture, disease resitance, earliness and hardiness, just to mention a few.
You're one of a kind
If you're not 100% satisfied with your purchase, let us know and we'll make it right!
But we'd also love to hear from you if you see something wicked cool in your garden or if you know of a variety in need of stewardship.
