Amaranth, Opopeo

(Amaranthus cruentus)  Gorgeous red flower heads loaded with

white seeds. Excellent variety for grain production, yet also visually

stunning for decorative use. Like all amaranth varieties, young leaves

can be eaten as a spinach substitute. 4 to 5 feet tall- Opopeo takes a

long season to fully ripen seeds so start indoors in April to transplant

out if growing for grain. Heirloom from Mexico.
