Amaranthus caudatus Seeds

'Love-Lies-Bleeding'

Love-Lies-Bleeding will make a beautiful statement in your garden or as a wonderful container plant. With lovely light green, thick foliage, this plant becomes loaded with deep red pendant plumes by mid-summer and blooms right to the middle of winter. The long red trusses give the plants an ornamental and graceful appearance. These are great for drying and also makes an impressive fresh-cut flower. This heirloom variety was actually grown as a source of food ("Inca Wheat") by the Aztecs in South America since at least the 16th century. In rich well drained soil, this annual will grow to about 5' high with a spread of about 2' and flower clusters up to 2' long, so give them lots of space.
