This striking amaranth is as technicolour as its namesake’s coat. This bright yellow, scarlet and green heirloom grows to a height of 45-60cm and makes an attractive addition to your veg patch or borders. 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 give a grain harvest in the autumn.

Surface sow seed from February to April in pots of moist peat-free compost or directly in place from March. Keep at a temperature of 20 to 25C during germination, and allow the temperature to reduce at night. Keep the surface of the compost moist but not waterlogged. Light helps germination, which usually takes 3 to 15 days.
When large enough to handle, transplant seedlings into small pots and grow on until after the last frost. Gradually acclimatise to outdoor conditions for 10-15 days before planting out in full sun. Amaranth is generally unbothered by pests and so doesn’t need netting.
Sowing Months: February – May
Harvest Months: July – October
Position: Full sun
