Amaranth has two great qualities. 1) it is a very beautiful and unusual flower with very large hanging clusters of dense flowers and 2) they taste great in salads.

Amaranth is one of the most beautiful annual flowers in the garden, providing a nice contrast to the more open and colourful flowers in the bed. It is a tall plant with dark green leaves and very large clusters of flowers that hang elegantly. The leaves of amaranth can be harvested and eaten in salads, where they provide a fresh, slightly bitter taste and a beautiful colour.
