Golden Red Amaranth
Amaranthus tricolor
Annual
Beautiful golden red amaranth that Truelove seeds has grown out for our particular Philadelphia climate. Young leaves are edible, similar to spinach, as are mature seeds whole or ground into flour. Amaranth is a cascading flower, great for fresh cut and dried flowers. Known to self-seed so plant in an area you may want amaranth next year too!
Plant Spacing: 18-24"
Sun Preference: Full sun
Companion Plants: Cucumbers & squash - cucumber beetles prefer amaranth
Common Pests: Golden Red Amaranth may occasionally encounter aphids, flea beetles, and leaf miners, which can be managed through organic pest management methods such as neem oil spray or insecticidal soap.
Growing Information: Provide consistent moisture and fertilize lightly to promote lush foliage growth. Harvest young leaves regularly for a continuous supply of tender greens throughout the growing season.
