Amaranth has two great qualities. 1) it is a very beautiful and unusual flower with very large upright 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 great contrast to the more open and colourful flowers in the bed. It is a tall plant with beautiful dark red leaves and very large clusters of flowers. The beautiful dark red leaves can be harvested and eaten in salads, where they provide a fresh, slightly bitter flavour and a nice contrast to the greenery.
