(46 days) Open-pollinated. Annual. A stately 6' plant, Hopi was the best of the nine amaranths we compared, displaying 1–2' deep burgundy inflorescences. Leaves may be green or burgundy or some variation. Eat the young leaves in salads or slightly steamed, admire them young or old. Hopi people make a scarlet food dye from the flower bracts to color their ceremonial piki bread. Not for dying fabric. Yanna Fishman of Union Mills, NC, suggests using Hopi in your floral arrangements. “When added to a flower bouquet it makes an ordinary clear jar look like an elegant purple-tinted vase as it colors the water.” Annual. Indigenous Royalties. ①
