How to grow Quinoa 'Rainbow'

  • Medium

Rainbow is generally regarded as a tender plant, so remember to wait until your soil is warm and the night time temperature is well above freezing before moving outside. Rainbow needs a loamy soil with a ph of 6.0 to 8.5 (weakly acidic soil to weakly alkaline soil).

Growing Rainbow from seed

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 5.85 inches (15.0 cm) and sow at a depth of around 0.23 inches (0.6 cm). For optimal germination, soil temperature should be a minimum of 10°C / 50°F.

Transplanting Rainbow

Rainbow is tender, so ensure you wait until all danger of frost has passed in your area before considering planting outside.
