Red Garnet amaranth deserves its place in hedges, flowerbeds, but also on the plate. The leaves can be harvested as young shoots and eaten in salads, and when mature, they can be prepared as spinach. If the plant is allowed to mature, the seeds or red spikes can be harvested for beautiful cut flowers.

  • for indoor seedlings: transplant into individual containers while waiting for transplanting in the garden OR
  • for direct seedlings: transplant to their final location in the garden

Transplanting outdoors (for seedlings started indoors):
