Amaranthus species
Amaranth
Amaranth
This amaranth population comes entirely from Jessic's garden. It is a wild genetic blend from Bolivia, very expressive and genetically diverse, mostly green leaf and green flowers, with purple and red leaf and flowers. Strong growing grain variety, used for greens and grain.
Amaranth is a complete protein and high in lysine, making it a great addition to other grains. Amaranth is near perfect, the only down side is dogs cannot have it.
This Amaranth is dry farmed and given a liquid fertilizer, intercropping with Turf grass, Johnson grass, and other crops.
Packets contain hundreds of seeds.

Our mission is to make diverse seeds available to everyone. Although the seeds are free, you will need to pay for shipping. In addition, we ask you to consider making a donation to cover program costs. This allows us to make seed free for those who need it.
