There seem to be 3 types of Amaranthus - one for grain, one for leaf and one for flowers.
Real seeds sell both Grain https://www.realseeds.co.uk/grains.html and Leaf types. https://www.realseeds.co.uk/cookinggreens.html.
Garden Organic call it Callaloo https://www.gardenorganic.org.uk/sites/w...anthus.pdf
Then you have the fancier ones with longer coloured tassels with fancy names like Crimson tassels and Ribbons & Beads.
From a quick look at seed packets - ones called Amaranth are aimed at the edible market whilst Amaranthus are more in the ornamental section. They're also sold by the RSPB to attract finches!
A plant for all reasons.;D
