Amaranthus h. 'Red Pygmy' (prince's feather)
Amaranth used to be the basic food of the old Inca’s (the seed contains proportionately more proteins than our well known grains...). In the garden it is a big, huge, sometimes really imposing plant with large, decorative upright tails. Moreover it yields impressive, richly coloured, material for flower arrangements. 'RED PYGMY’ is a dwarf selection, 40 - 60 cm. 250 s.
