Amaranthus cruentus "Autumn’s Touch"

Sow indoors 4-6 weeks before planting out and risk of frost is over.
Amaranth can also be direct sown in the garden when all risk of frost has passed.

Wonderful for summer and early autumn fillings in bouquets.
Feel free to top when the plant is about 30 cm to encourage more side shoots.

Harvest when the seed heads are about ¾ open.
