Red Leaf Edible Amaranth
This plant is showy enough for blower beds with its coleus appearance. The flavorful foliage has a hearty spinach flavor that is sweet and slightly tangy. Amaranth loves the heat and is a favourite source of salad greens when other spring green crops have all been harvested. Plant when soil temperatures are warm. Amaranth will tolerate most soils, but prefers light, loamy soils.
The Amaranth Edible Red Leaf, 'Amaranthus tricolour', is a heat loving summer green that is even more nutritious than spinach or beet greens.
