    Customer photo review of Amaranthus Seeds - Viridis

    Very fast grower! I’ve never grown or tried growing from seed before and these were super easy in zone 6. I think they have a little more growing to do but even if not, they’re great. I planted 3 seeds in one big pot and all three bloomed well. Very happy with these!

    These were super easy to grow, and the are now very big and just beginning to bloom. They definitely need to be staked or they will probably fall over. But they are lots of fun to grow!
