The Thai amaranth stays pretty compact. <br />it's about 10-12 inches high now and shouldn't get to be more than about 18 inches high if it's not allowed to bloom - the seeds are from Baker Creek. I'm also growing another dwarf variety called Tender Leaf which is even a bit more compact - it's from Evergreen Seeds.
