Amaranthus hypochondriacus is an ornamental plant commonly known as Prince-of-Wales feather [2] or prince's-feather.[3][4] Originally endemic to Mexico, it is called quelite, blero[5] and quintonil in Spanish.[6][7]

In Africa, like many other species in the family Amaranthaceae, it is valued as source of food.[8]

In temperate regions it is cultivated as a half-hardy annual. Numerous cultivars have been selected, of which 'Green Thumb'[9] and 'Pygmy Torch'[10] have gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
