I believe this is purple amaranth. We grew it a few years ago, but it didn't get this big for us. Nice plant!
BTW, the leaves on this are edible, like spinach

Good to know! I imagine they taste better when young, perhaps before flowering? I plan to grow some again next year, but in a different spot as it is overtowering my small flower garden!
Yes, I believe the young leaves are the best.
