Amaranth is used as a warm-season spinach substitute in Africa, India, and the Caribbean. This sweet and slightly tangy variety has 13% more protein than other grains in its heart-shaped oval leaves. Use in soups or salads. Also, a beautiful addition to cut flower arrangements.
Red Leaf Amaranth
I haven't had the chance to do anything with them yet, but they came in a package with dozens (i haven't counted them) of seeds, so ill probably get a few plants from the seeds
Did well, but took a while to grow to full size.
Good germination. It thrives in full sun, but the leaves get tough, even the new young ones. The ones I planted in dapple sun/ shade are slow growing, but the leaves are more tender.
Very much appreciate the sale prices, care, and quick delivery from the team.
I keep reordering more seeds because we have had unusual, destructive flash floods that keep washing my garden away.
We've had depressing, stressful, dangerous weather - but somehow getting a package of seeds so nice and colorful from MIgardener is like getting a package of hope for the future. Thanks team!
Awesome color on these. Beautiful addition to the (majority pink shades) zinnias I usually grow.
I have way more celery than I have room to plant!
Planted my basil as soon as thepackets arrived!
Last year I decided to plant a "tunnel" of sunflowers on the other side of my tall blueberry bushes and these added a colorful variety to the typical yellow! These are now a favorite that will be a "grow again!"
I received a packet of this mix with a previous greenstalk order through MIgardener (best price around!) and was pleasantly surprised how easy it was to grow and how delicious it was! I’ve never grown salad greens before and this was the perfect mix. Even after burning out on gardening late in the summer, I will always look forward to growing this salad green mix in the spring. Thanks for introducing me!
