Hi Jennifer - I gave both white and yellow datura as well as the amaranthus and would like to trade for your violas and shasta daisies. Doreen.

Just to make it clear-the seeds in the list are my own seeds and I am only looking for Lagurus ovatus and Amaranthus tricolor seeds. Thanks :o) Robbi

All amaranths and related pigweeds are edible when young as a spinach substitute. Some cultivated varieties have been developed to produce edible leaves for the life of the plant while other varieties are "grain" producers. Then, of course, there are ornamental ones. Amaranthus tends to self-seed if you allow the plant to grow through the seeding stage. At my market farm we allow some of these volunteers to co-exist with our crops because they are pretty, serve to attract birds, and can be fed to the chickens at any time.

I have many of these shrubs and can give you lots of large cuttings which root very, very, easily. I'm in NW Hillsborough...I think you've been to the swaps that use to be at my house?? I haven't been active on the site here in years, just now getting back to it. Lori
