Red Garnet Amaranth offers two crops: tender, burgundy baby leaves for salads and giant seed plumes for nutrient-dense grain. Leaves are a source of vitamins A and C; seeds cook like quinoa.

Plants thrive in heat and poor soil. Direct sow after frost, thin for greens, and let a few mature for seed—dry, thresh, and rinse to remove saponins. Ornamental, edible, resilient—a reliable choice that combo.

Every order is packed with care by our small team in Pennsylvania and typically ships within 2–3 business days—often by the next business day. We ship throughout the United States using USPS and UPS.

Unopened items may be returned within 30 days of delivery. If an order arrives damaged, incomplete, or incorrect, please contact us so we can make it right.

Plant seeds directly into the garden starting 1-2 weeks after average last frost date. Optimum soil temperature for seed germination is 65-75 degrees. Or, start seeds indoors 3-4 weeks before your anticipated planting date. Set transplants in the garden 1 to 2 weeks after danger of frost has passed. S
eedlings can be sensitive to transplant shock. Do not disturb roots when transplanting, and water thoroughly.
The leaves, young flowers, and seeds of red garnet are all edible, making it versatile for use as a cooked/raw green, a beautiful ornamental or a grain crop.
