Amaranth is a versatile annual ‘edimental’ and this heirloom variety has real impact, growing to a height of up to 1m. Incredibly dramatic in its colouring, with dark red nearly black foliage topped by the almost glowing, bright red leaves that resemble molten lava. 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. Will also give a grain harvest in Autumn.
