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.
