White Light Green Amaranth Seeds - 500 Seeds | Heat Tolerant Edible Leaf Vegetable

White Light Green Amaranth is a fast-growing, heat-tolerant leafy vegetable grown for its tender, light green leaves and edible seeds. Also known as Chinese spinach or tampala, this amaranth variety produces upright plants with soft, mild-flavored leaves that are excellent for stir-fries, soups, curries, and fresh salads. It is a popular warm-season green in home gardens and market plots because it thrives in summer heat where many other leafy greens struggle.

With 500 seeds per packet, this amaranth offers a generous start for garden beds, raised planters, and edible landscaping. The plants grow quickly and can be harvested repeatedly for a continuous supply of nutritious greens throughout the growing season.

Planting & Care

Sow amaranth seeds directly in the garden after the last frost, when soil temperatures have warmed. Scatter seeds thinly on the surface and press them lightly into the soil, as light aids germination. Keep the seedbed consistently moist until seedlings emerge, then thin plants to the recommended spacing to encourage strong leaf production. Amaranth performs best in full sun with regular watering, especially during dry spells.

Harvest young leaves and tender stems as needed, starting about 4 to 6 weeks after sowing. Regular picking encourages bushy growth and extends the harvest. For seed production, allow some plants to mature and dry on the stalk before collecting the tiny black seeds.
