Amaranth - (Green Callaloo) (4" pot)

Tasty, quick growing, self sowing hot weather greens popular throughout the Africa, Carribean, as well as in Asian cuisines. The abundant leaves are usually eaten cooked, and are sometimes referred to as Chinese spinach. The upright branched plants can reach 6-8 ft. tall in favorable conditions. Caterpillars chew some holes in the leaves, but seldom slow down growth. Space plants up to 18 in. apart. Harvest before plants flower. Self-sows. Callaloo is tolerant of poor soil, root knot nematodes, and bacterial wilt – good greens for almost any garden!
