Growing Guide & Soil Requirements

When and where to plant

Sow outdoors after the danger of frost has passed and soil has warmed to about 70°F. Choose a sunny location with at least six hours of direct light; light afternoon shade can help in especially hot locations.

Plant according to your local climate. A February–June calendar is not suitable for every US region, and outdoor year-round planting requires consistently warm, frost-free conditions.

Soil, sowing depth and spacing

• Soil: Use fertile, well-drained soil; aim for a pH of 6.0–7.0.
• Sowing depth: Cover the small seeds lightly, approximately ⅛ inch deep.
• Plant spacing: Thin to about 8–12 inches between plants.
• Row spacing: Leave about 12–24 inches between rows.
• Feeding: Base fertilizer applications on a soil test and any compost already added.

These are general vegetable-amaranth starting guidelines; adjust spacing to plant vigor and the size of stems you want to harvest.

Watering and harvest

Water gently after sowing so the small seeds stay in place. Keep the seedbed evenly moist during establishment, then water as needed to avoid prolonged drying or saturated soil.

Flavor and Use

Young amaranth leaves have a mild flavor similar to spinach. Cook them in a quick garlic stir-fry, add them to soups or prepare them as saag. Tender stems also work in curries and vegetable side dishes.

Separate thicker stems from leaves when preparing a meal so each can cook to the texture you prefer.
