Plants are easy to grow in sunny spots (five hours or more daily) where soil drains well. Start seeds indoors as for tomatoes at 65–75˚F, two months or so before the
last expected frost. This would be about mid-February for Zone 7 gardens; late February for Zone 6. Harden off the “toddler” seedlings to acclimate them before planting outdoors after the soil warms; they will not tolerate cold soil, and planting too early may cause stunted growth. In Northern regions, seeds can be direct sown after the last frost, but the crops will mature later. They usually take about three months from seed to bloom. Average soil is fine for ornamentals, although the colorful foliage will not be as brilliant in overly rich soil. Avoid chemical fertilizers for edible crops. When setting out into the garden, leave enough space between plants, 6 inches to 3 feet, according to their expected ultimate size. Looking to bring some new pizzazz to your garden this year? You can’t go wrong with Amaranthus, whether you favor one of the bold ornamental species or a new salad crop to tempt your palette.
