Product Description
Brilliant Rainbow Quinoa blend has striking colors of hot pink, burgundy, red, orange, yellow, white and green. Harvest the young leaves to eat raw or cooked. Colorful seed heads mature in 90-120 days. Deer resistant, beautiful plant to grow for ornamental or edible purposes.
Warmer climates direct sow after all danger of frost and soil is warm. Colder climates sow seeds indoors 1 to 2 weeks before average last frost date. Germination can occur rapidly. Seedlings will develop long, spindly fragile red stems when light isn’t adequate, or they are kept inside too long.
Quinoa plants can reach 4 – 6 feet in height and require full sun.
Harvesting: Quinoa is ready to harvest about 90 – 120 days after sowing, when the leaves begin to fall, leaving just the dried seedheads. Harvest before heavy autumn precipitation, and before seeds start falling to the ground. Seeds can be easily stripped upwards off the stalk with a gloved hand, or shaken out over a bucket.
Your package will include approximately 60+ seeds
