Amaranth is a fabulous annual ‘edimental’ and this variety has real impact, growing to a height of up to 1.2m. This heirloom variety has stunning red wine coloured leaves and flowers that really stand out. Its nutritious leaves can be eaten just like spinach and the drought tolerant nature of the plant means it does well throughout summer without bolting. A grain similar to quinoa can also be harvested in autumn.
