Amaranthus Candelabra seeds

Description

This listing is for 40 seeds of Amaranthus Candelabra.

This is a pretty nifty plant. It's got a beautiful coppery pink foliage and dark fuschia flowers. The flower formation is very unusual, as you can see from the pictures, and resemble fuzzy spikes.

This plant produces seed that can be used as a grain substitute for those with gluten, wheat, corn, or other intolerances. For more on that, check out the article I posted on my blog: http://fluffnflowers.blogspot.com/2008/05/gluten-free-diets-and-amaranth.html

This plant does well with wintersowing, so make sure to add it to your wintersown collection!

This grows well in all zones. It's a reseeding annual.
