Amaranth (Amaranthus Candatus 'red') not only adds a unique & colorful accent to the garden, they provide a healthy grain for cultivation. This variety has more of a crimson color. Each pack comes with basic instructions for germination. I'm a USA seller which means faster shipping times as well as higher quality seeds. A vast majority of my seeds either come from my garden, from my neighborhood or in the local area. If not, I've acquired them on trips around the country. I've tested & grown many of these myself. I'm always here for assistance with germination & growing. Your success is my success! Amaranth Love Lies Bleeding
