{"title":"Amaranth seeds","description":"\u003cp\u003eAmaranth is an ancient, highly versatile plant grown both for its striking foliage and its nutritious, leafy greens. The colourful leaves are rich in antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, while the plant itself is fast and forgiving — thriving in free-draining soil and warm conditions, and ready to harvest in as little as 4–6 weeks. Grow it for the kitchen, for ornamental colour, or both.
