Goosefoot
From LoveToKnow Garden
Goosefoot (Chenopodium) - Annuals or biennials, few of much garden value, except C. Atriplicis, a vigorous Chinese annual, with erect reddish stem, slightly branched, over 3 feet in height, and with its young shoots and leaves covered with a rosy-violet powder, pretty in foliage in any soil.
C. scoparium (Belvedere) is a graceful annual plant, like a miniature Cypress in form, and worth a place among curious annual plants. C. Blitum capitatum (Strawberry-blite) is a hardy annual, growing from 1 1/2 to 2 feet high, the flowers small, followed by highcolored fruit calyxes resembling small Strawberries. Sow in April in the open air.
