This is another plant growing in the neighborhood. I think it might be an annual. I like the colors and it would be a nice addition to my garden next year. Could it be a tropical plant

I have seen seeds for Amaranth in heirloom seed catalogs (e.g. Baker Creek, Seed Savers, Grandma's Garden, etc.).
Amaranthus tricolor (Joseph's Coat)
by: Moni

It is an amaranthus. More specifically called Amaranthus tricolor (Joseph's Coat) the variety called Joseph's Coat is the one with all the color. Other A. tricolor varieties do not have the yellow or the red like 'Joseph's Coat' does. So that is the plant or seeds you need to look for.

It's summer poinsettia, it's in the amaranthus family. It's an annual in zones 7 and under. It can be grown from seeds. The seeds can be harvested at the end of the season.
