Seeds | Red Spike Amaranth
Red Spike Amaranth is a head-turner with tall red velvety spikes, pink stems, and dark purple/bronze leaves.
Besides being a dramatic cut flower, amaranth produces small pearly grains which feed birds and humans alike. Additionally, amaranth leaves are also edible when cooked, and were a revered staple in pre-colonial Americas and the Caribbean.
These seeds have been collected and cleaned from the previous generation grown in the Six Of Cups garden. This generation has not undergone germination testing, so they are being sold as a botanical sample.
