Amaranthus h. 'Oeschberg' (amaranth - 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. 'Oeschberg': Upright, dark red tails, 90 cm. 250 s.
