One package of 2000 seeds may produce a versatile and nutritious plant known as carelessweed, pigweed, or green amaranth (Rau Den in Vietnamese). Amaranthus hybridus and other species are well-known for their rapid development and adaptability. This leafy green is a staple in many different cuisines and is highly regarded for its health benefits due to its rich nutrient content. Keep reading for the specifics on how to grow Carelessweed (Pigweed) from seed.

Acquiring a Pest Weed (Pigweed, Green Amaranth, or Just Garlic)
The Amaranthus family includes the fast-growing carelessweed, also known as pigweed, which has green leaves and, in rare occasions, stems that are tinged with red. It thrives in warm, sunny spots and is typical of gardens, fields, and places with disturbed soil. The ornamental value, leaves, seeds, and even weeds of certain species are enough to justify their cultivation.

Settling in Soil: Pigweed loves organically rich, well-drained dirt. Although it can tolerate a wide range of soil pH levels, it thrives in those between 6.5 and 7.5.

Pick a bright place since carelessweed will grow in moderate shade but loves full sun. Before you start planting, clear the area of any large stones or trash.
