Overview
Amaranthus cruentus Seeds, 100 pcs, Mature Plant with Burgundy Leaves and Flower Spikes, Planting for Gardens and Self-Sufficiency

Amaranthus cruentus, blood amaranth, is an impressive mature plant that captivates with its dark burgundy to purple spike-like inflorescences and similarly coloured leaves. This species is among the traditional garden plants with dual use – it serves as an eye-catching ornamental annual with a striking colour accent in the garden, while also providing edible grains with high nutritional value. In this package, you will receive 100 pcs of seeds, from which you can grow a larger number of plants for planting in garden beds, in a self-sufficient garden, or for experimental cultivation for your own amaranth grain harvest. The higher number of seeds in the package is a practical choice for growers planning extensive planting or staggered sowing over several seasons. Growing this amaranth is a rewarding gardening project.

Growing blood amaranth is a rewarding gardening project for anyone seeking a plant with dual use and high ornamental value. After sowing, the seeds quickly develop in a warmed substrate, and the young seedlings rapidly gain size if they have enough warmth, light, and nutrients. Throughout the season, the plant develops into a robust mature annual with a striking colour effect, adding dark accents to the garden and serving as an eye-catching vertical element among shorter plants. This species appreciates sunny locations with well-draining nutrient-rich soil, where it has enough space for root system development and tall flowering stems. At the end of the growing season, you can harvest amaranth grain with high nutritional value, traditionally used in baking, cooking porridge, or as a gluten-free alternative to conventional grains. Young leaves can also be used as salad greens or in cooked dishes. Regular watering during dry periods, moderate fertilisation during growth, and sunny locations support abundant grain production and the overall health of the plant. The higher number of seeds in the package allows for splitting the sowing into several stages and gradually building self-sufficient amaranth production. For every gardener seeking a combination of ornamental and utilitarian plants, blood amaranth presents an interesting choice with an unmistakable colour effect.
