Callaloo Amaranth

One of the better eating amaranth varieties for leaves and the most dependable grower for me. The flowers on this one are not very large or showy so this is definitely more for the edible greens. Attracts loads of beneficial insects over the summer months. Need light for seeds to germinate so surface sow outdoors in warm weather. Strip pest eaten leaves off and it will flush new growth. Also handles being cut back well.

0.3 g packet has about 790 seeds.

Good to start from seed in these months:

North Florida: April-August

Central Florida: March-September

South Florida: February-October
