Raktaranga Amaranth is sometimes considered ornamental, but it has great edible qualities as well.
Planting Guide: Sow just after the danger of frost has dissipated, 1/4" deep, in well drained, non-fertilized soil. Space 10-18" apart in full sun. Water weekly - about 1".
Harvest: About 30+ days depending on your intended usage. Young leaves can be used to compliment salads or more mature leaves can do the same, but gain a bitter flavour. For grains, allow the plant to bloom. Trim browning flowers and dry in a bag over the course of a few days. Shake the bag to disassemble the associated seeds. This plant is also ideal for succession planting.
