Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

No special seed preparation is necessary for Amaranth seeds.

Sowing:

Directly sow seeds outdoors after the last frost date in your area.

Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep and space them 12-18 inches apart.

Germination:

Keep the soil consistently moist until germination, which typically occurs within 7-14 days.

Maintain soil temperatures around 65-75°F (18-24°C) for optimal germination.

Transplanting:

Thin seedlings to allow 12-18 inches between plants once they have developed several true leaves.

Amaranth does not transplant well once established, so direct sowing is recommended.

Care and Maintenance:

Water plants regularly, especially during dry spells, to keep the soil evenly moist.

Mulch around plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds.

Support taller varieties with stakes if necessary to prevent bending or breaking.
