4000 Seeds Midnight Amaranth Red Leaf Amaranthus Garden Greens

Midnight Amaranth is a striking red-leaf amaranth grown for its deep burgundy foliage and nutritious edible greens. Plants grow quickly into upright, colorful stands that add bold contrast to beds, borders, and vegetable gardens.

The tender leaves and young stems are used fresh in salads or cooked like spinach, and the plants can also be grown as an ornamental accent. Harvest leaves as needed through the season, or allow plants to mature for seed heads.
