Common Questions
Is amaranthus edible?
No, the amaranthus we sell is an ornamental annual plant and not the same as the edible agricultural crop.
Can I grow amaranthus in containers?
Yes, be sure the container is large enough for the variety, and use a commercial potting mix.
Can I use amaranthus as a cut flower?
Yes, and you can use it as a dried flower as well.
Is amaranthus the same as pigweed?
Pigweed is related to the ornamental amaranthus we plant in our gardens, but is a different plant and ornamental amaranth is not invasive in the garden.
