Opopeo Amaranth

My Opopeo Amaranth is just starting to bloom.  This plant is over 5 feet tall now.  Other varieties of amaranth can grow much taller.  This particular variety is raised to eat the young leaves.  Other varieties are grown to harvest the seeds.  Amaranth is highly nutritious.  It is a very easy plant to raise.  I will save the seeds from this heirloom plant for next year.
