Amaranth 'Red Garnet,' also known as Joseph's Coat, is a stunning heirloom variety cherished for its vibrant red foliage and unique, tassel-like flower heads. This versatile plant not only adds a dramatic flair to your garden but also offers a delicious and nutritious harvest. The tender young leaves can be enjoyed in salads or cooked like spinach, while the abundant seeds are a gluten-free grain that can be ground into flour or cooked like quinoa.

GROWING INSTRUCTIONS:
Direct sow seeds outdoors after the danger of frost has passed. Sprinkle seeds on the soil surface and lightly rake them in. Amaranth prefers full sun and well-draining soil. Thin seedlings to 12-18 inches apart once they have a few sets of true leaves. Keep soil consistently moist, especially during dry spells. For leafy greens, harvest young leaves regularly. For grain harvest, allow flower heads to mature and dry on the plant before collecting seeds.
