Also known as Purple Amaranth or Mexican Grain Amaranth, this plant originated in the Americas and was historically a source of grain and greens.

Thought it would be helpful to show where the seeds are for this plant.

This is the amaranth palutus that appeared on my compost heap one day. I don\\\'t believe it\\\'s normally one that grows in the Seattle area, but we had an unusually warm summer with more humid conditions than normal.

Reseeds very easily, but it is so pretty and easy to weed that it is great that it comes back every year!

I love this plant. Not only it grows easily, the younger leaves also adds wonderful colour to your salad.
