Chenopodium giganteum
“Magenta Spreen Lambsquarter”
 

Pepper your garden with this great foliage plant! Some say this species is weedy, but you have to give props to any plant that is edible, tasty (if you like spinach) & requires absolutely no work to grow. Super bonus is the new growth's gorgeous magenta color – attractive & easy to spot! Grow like Amaranthus – in sun, rich or poor soil. Grows up to 6'! Pull plants before they go to seed if you don't want an ongoing purple buffet. From East Asia.
