Grow fresh, tender Green Leaf Amaranth at home with these high-quality heirloom seeds. Green Leaf Amaranth, also known as Rau Dền Xanh, is a popular Asian leafy vegetable grown for its soft green leaves, mild spinach-like flavor, and fast-growing habit. This warm-season annual is easy to grow in home gardens, raised beds, containers, and backyard vegetable plots.
Green Leaf Amaranth is a great choice for gardeners who want a productive leafy green that can be harvested continuously throughout the growing season. The young leaves are tender and flavorful, making them excellent for stir-fries, soups, stews, steamed greens, and many traditional Asian dishes.
Why Grow Green Leaf Amaranth?
Green Leaf Amaranth is loved for its quick growth, tender edible leaves, and heat tolerance. Unlike many cool-season greens, amaranth performs well in warm weather and can continue producing when temperatures rise. It is a useful crop for spring, summer, and early fall gardens in many growing regions.
This variety grows upright with branching, tender-leafed growth. Plants can be harvested young for baby greens or allowed to grow larger for repeated leaf harvests.

How to Grow Green Leaf Amaranth from Seeds
Start seeds outdoors after the danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed. Amaranth seeds are very small, so they should be sown shallowly. Plant seeds about 1/8 to 1/16 inch deep and gently cover with a thin layer of fine soil. Keep the soil evenly moist until germination.
For best results, plant in warm soil and provide consistent moisture. Seeds usually germinate in 7–14 days depending on temperature and growing conditions.

Soil and Light Requirements
Green Leaf Amaranth grows best in sandy, light, fertile, and well-draining soil. It can tolerate slightly acidic soil and grows well in warm garden conditions. Full sun is ideal, especially in cooler climates, but the plant can also tolerate part shade in hotter areas.
Avoid heavy, waterlogged soil. Good drainage and airflow help keep plants healthy.
Watering and Care
Keep the soil evenly moist, especially during germination and early growth. Once established, Green Leaf Amaranth is fairly easy to maintain. Water at the base of the plant when possible and avoid wetting the leaves too often. This helps reduce the chance of leaf problems.
Remove any damaged or diseased plant material promptly. Good airflow, proper spacing, and clean garden maintenance can help support healthy plant growth.
Harvesting Green Leaf Amaranth
Harvest young leaves when they are tender and flavorful. You can begin picking leaves once the plants are well established. For continuous harvests, pick outer leaves as needed and allow the center of the plant to keep growing.
For the best flavor and texture, harvest in the morning when the leaves are fresh. Young leaves are usually more tender, while larger leaves are better for cooking.
Culinary Uses
Green Leaf Amaranth is widely used in Asian cooking. The leaves have a mild, earthy, spinach-like flavor and can be cooked in many ways.
Popular uses include:
• Stir-fries with garlic
• Soups and broths
• Steamed greens
• Vegetable side dishes
• Mixed garden greens
• Traditional Asian recipes
The tender leaves cook quickly and pair well with garlic, onion, fish sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, and other savory seasonings.
Pests and Disease Notes
To help prevent common plant problems, avoid watering directly on the leaves and remove affected plant matter promptly. Good spacing and airflow are important for healthy growth. Damping off, brown rust, tarnished plant bug, leaf spot, caterpillars, stem borers, and wet rot have been reported on amaranth in some growing regions.
Growing results may vary depending on weather, soil, temperature, moisture, and local garden conditions.
Important Growing Tips
• Sow seeds shallowly because amaranth seeds are very small.
• Keep soil moist but not waterlogged.
• Warm soil helps improve germination.
• Thin seedlings if plants are crowded.
• Provide good airflow to reduce disease pressure.
• Harvest young leaves often for tender growth.
• More sunlight is helpful in cooler climates.
