89/ Red Hopi amaranth 

I grow this every year, it’s so beautiful. It needs to be caged to protect from bunnies. I also grow it in pots with tropical trees bc terrestrial insects chew down seedlings. Bc of this predation, I don’t get enough to use the seeds as a dye. I just use the leaves. 

They have survived hurricanes. They might lean a bit but rebound well. They can tolerate a bit of dry and do well in extreme heat. Full sun but will still flower in part sun.
