    One of the Pigweeds, not a flower/or Vegetable Amaranth.

    Thank you very much. It is very odd I planted a whole strawberry in the pot inside the house and 3 weeks later that is what grew. I new it was not a strawberry plant because it looks nothing like my other strawberry plants. I used a new bag of potting soil do you think the pigweed was in the soil?

    It could be a contaminant in your potting soil especially manures.
