Generally speaking, Amaranthus are some of the most prolific self-sowers you can find!
If your seed is viable, I think you'll have great fun growing them and find the very easy.

And if your luck is like mine, come next spring,
you'll be pulling out seedlings by the thousands in the area where they bloomed.

What type did you grow looks like there all kinds of these. I even saw one called towers, and a green on? Thanks for your help.

A couple of years ago I grew "Love-lies bleeding" (Amaranthus caudatus)
and "Purple Amaranth" (Amaranthus cruentus).
Last year I didn't want any, so I pulled all of the seedlings as they came up,
but I am still seeing a few seedlings appearing this year.
