Coppery-orange plumes on 4-
7-ft stalks are a dramatic and
long-lasting garden presence.
Super-nutritious seeds are
tiny but plentiful, making
Copperhead a good choice for
a high-protein edible. In 2020,
our 30-ft row yielded over 5
lbs. of seed for us, in addition
to plenty for the birds. Harvest
when the translucent seed
turns white – or let the birds
alert you.
Copperhead, Opopeo, and Rio San Lorenzo are the varieties we recommend if you want to harvest amaranth seed to eat. Of course these varieties are also wonderful ornamentals, bringing high drama to the garden all summer.

Excellent price point, and great value. Shop has a wide array of plant seed products. Seller ships quickly. Our order came in early and before the estimated delivery date. Will shop here again.
