To maintain a constant supply, sow seeds in succession every 3–4 weeks. Pinch out the central growing tip once the plant is 20cm tall to encourage side-branching and a bushier, more productive plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCan not send to W.A\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e100 seeds\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSorry we do not send to W.A \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gatherer Forager","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53468458352913,"sku":null,"price":4.5,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0671\/4323\/7905\/files\/image_20.png?v=1777263917","url":"https:\/\/www.gathererforager.com\/products\/amaranth-green-leaf-seeds","provider":"Gatherer Forager","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
