Red Beauty Amaranth Seeds

AKA Chinese Spinach or Yin Choi. The purple red oval leaves of this beautiful variety have a bright green margin. The plant produces a high yield of tender leaves. Leaf Amaranth is a popular green in Asia as it is both heat and drought tolerant. The leaves are tender and their flavor is delicate, making them a perfect addition to salads, stir fries or simply lightly steamed. This is by far the most tender and sweetest amaranth for edible greens. The beautiful leaves make a perfect spinach substitute when all others have bolted. This is our family’s go-to “green” for mid-summer. Sow every two weeks for a continuous supply and harvest the tender leaves in just 30-40!   Amaranthus Tricolor Days to Harvest: 30 to 40 Frost Hardy: no Annual Full sun to part shade Sprouts in 3-4 Days Ideal Temperature: 65-90 Degrees F Seed packet contains a minimum of 300 seeds
