I couldn’t believe how fast this Amaranth grew. Beautiful addition to my garden, and sturdy enough to support beans.

Update: Just want to say that all of my seeds sprouted within 36 hours. Pretty dang impressive! I have pretty little red plants growing now in my garden.
Thank you for the fast shipping. Seeds arrived well, and I’m happy that the shop packaged them with foam so that there was no damage to the seeds.
