50 Seeds Rainbow Quinoa Chenopodium quinoa Grain Plant Mix
Rainbow Quinoa is a colorful blend of quinoa varieties grown for their edible seed heads and striking garden display. Plants produce panicles in shades of pink, orange, red, yellow, and white, adding height and texture to beds and borders while yielding nutritious grain-like seeds.
A dual-purpose choice for the ornamental and kitchen garden, Rainbow Quinoa can be harvested for its seeds once the heads mature and dry, or left standing for visual interest. The young leaves are also edible and can be used like spinach. Plants are quick-growing and thrive in full sun with well-drained soil.
