Annual, grows 4-7 ft. with bright-burgundy foilage, stately, erect, scarlet, flower plumes. Tolerates drought and most soils. An all purpose plant for flowers, grains, baby greens, dyes.

Ancient variety once used by the Hopi Indians as a ceremonial food dye.

As with all Grain Amaranths; young plants and young leaves make nutritious steamed greens. The immature flower bracts can be used as a flower dye and the edible black seeds can be ground to make a high protein, gluten-free flour.
