Amaranth Seeds

Amaranth seeds grow into a beautiful, resilient, and vibrant plant. They produce a nutritious pseudo-grain rich in fiber, manganese, iron, and protein. Amaranth's leaves are edible and can be eaten as a green leafy vegetable. The seeds can be sprouted and eaten as microgreens. This crop adapts well to various conditions, flourishing in full sun. Amaranth is very adaptable to poor soil types. Grown as an annual, it offers grains that serve as a gluten-free alternative to wheat. Its blooms are also often used as cut flowers and are attractive to pollinators.

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.
