- Species and varieties: Amaranth (Amaranthus) is a genus of annual or short-lived perennial plants. There are several species and varieties of amaranth, including Amaranthus caudatus (Love-Lies-Bleeding), Amaranthus cruentus (Red Amaranth), and Amaranthus tricolor (Joseph's Coat). Each variety has unique characteristics in terms of flower color, leaf shape, and growth habit.
- Hybrid or heirloom: Amaranth flower seeds can be both hybrid and heirloom. Heirloom varieties are open-pollinated and have been passed down through generations, preserving their original traits. Hybrid varieties are bred for specific characteristics such as improved disease resistance, growth rate, or flower color.
- Pruning and training: Amaranth generally requires minimal pruning. However, removing spent flowers can encourage more blooms and prevent self-seeding. For taller varieties, staking may be necessary to support the plants and prevent them from toppling over.
- Fertilization needs: Amaranth benefits from a balanced fertilizer applied at planting time. A general-purpose fertilizer with equal parts nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (e.g., 10-10-10) is suitable. Additional feeding during the growing season can promote vigorous growth and abundant flowering. Organic options such as compost or well-rotted manure can also be used to enrich the soil.
- Hardiness zones: Amaranth is suitable for USDA hardiness zones 2-11. It is a versatile plant that can thrive in a wide range of climates, from temperate to tropical regions.
- Climate requirements: Amaranth prefers warm weather and full sun. It grows best in temperatures between 70-85°F (21-29°C). The plant is drought-tolerant once established but performs best with regular watering. It can tolerate poor soil conditions but thrives in well-drained, fertile soil.
