Planting & Care

Sow White Leaf Amaranth seeds directly in the garden after the last frost date, or start them indoors 4 to 6 weeks earlier for a head start. Scatter seeds lightly over prepared soil and cover with a thin layer of soil, as light aids germination. Keep the seedbed evenly moist until seedlings emerge, which typically takes 7 to 14 days. Once seedlings are a few inches tall, thin them to the recommended spacing to allow for healthy growth.

Provide regular watering, especially during dry spells, and mulch around plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Harvest young leaves as needed for fresh use, or allow plants to mature for a larger yield. Amaranth is relatively pest-free and thrives in warm conditions, making it a low-maintenance addition to any garden.
