  • Growing Information

    How to Sow

    Amaranth is generally sown as a summer annual, but if you live in areas that have cooler, shorter seasons, sow seeds indoors in the early spring and transplant outside after all danger of frost has passed. For direct sowing, it is best to sow in rows and then thin out to approximately 30cm apart. Seeds germinate with soil temperatures between 18-25C and plants will grow best in full sun.

    How to Harvest

    The leaves can be harvested at about 40 days and you can continue to harvest the leaves up until the plant flowers. Beyond this point, the leaves lose their tenderness. To harvest the grain, wait until the seeds mature, cut the heads and place in a dry place out of direct sunlight. Once dried you can rub or shake the heads to release the seeds. To remove all chaff it may be necessary to screen the seed.

    Not flowered yet but I figure that is due to unfavourable growing conditions - poor soil & extremes in weather. The seedlings are quite healthy so I am still hopeful. And the bonus cos lettuce seeds produced some very healthy little seedlings also. Both just need a little more time and nourishment. Thanks!
