20/ Huazontle 

Survives fine in tropical storms. Last year I used these mostly for flower buds and seeds (can be eaten like quinoa) but I mostly used the leaves for salads this year. I grow it with my guamachil trees (bean trees) and only have three plants this year. That’s all I really needed. Doesn’t require more water than the rain. 

This plant can get weedy. It’s native to North America, but not on the East Coast.
