Question
Type of Amaranth? In central Georgia, about two and a half inches tall, green stalk with shades of purple, hairless (leaves, stalk), alternate leaf pattern.
Answer
Dear weedid, Your plant is a species of Rumex (dock). It is too young to identify with confidence (best identified in fruit, your specimen is in flower). That written, it is part of the complex that includes Rumex crispus (curly dock) and may be that species. Best wishes.
