Red Spike Amaranth
Red Spike Amaranth is a beautiful and versatile annual with deep, rich red flower spikes that stay upright once cut while still allowing the feathery plumes to move gracefully in arrangements — a valuable quality for dried and fresh floral design. The edible leaves can be used like spinach as a nutritious warm-season green, and the seeds are rich in protein and minerals. A dual-purpose plant that earns its place as both a cutting garden staple and a nutritionally productive food crop for the sustainable garden.
