INTRODUCING AMARANTH SEEDS

Amaranth has long been cultivated in the Americas and Africa. Its edible seeds and leaves make it a versatile plant - used in salads or as a grain. Amaranth thrives in USDA hardiness zones 2 to 11, showcasing adaptability to different environmental habitats. Its rapid growth and easy cultivation make it an ideal choice for those who have just started gardening.

PLANTING AMARANTH SEEDS

Sow amaranth seeds directly in the garden when the soil has warmed. Find a sunny location for your amaranth plants. They should be planted about 1/4 inch deep, spacing plants 6-18” inches apart. Amaranth grows in various soil types—even poor quality. Its drought tolerance makes it a good choice for water-wise gardens.

MAINTAINING AMARANTH PLANTS

Amaranth requires little care and doesn’t need fertilization. It benefits from regular watering during prolonged dry periods, but it is quite drought-tolerant. The plant can reach over six feet in height. It may need support from wind, especially when in full bloom or seed production. Harvesting of grains is done when they are dry, while of leaves when they are young.
