Amaranth Love Lies Bleeding

Add a touch of dramatic flair to your garden with Amaranth Love Lies Bleeding (*Amaranthus cruentus*). This old-fashioned garden gem is known for its stunning, long, drooping pendants of fuzzy, vibrant red blooms that cascade from thick, sturdy main stems, reaching an impressive height of 60-90 cm (2-3 feet). The large, light green leaves provide a beautiful contrast to the striking red flowers, creating a visually captivating display.

Amaranth Love Lies Bleeding is an excellent choice for the back of garden borders, where its height and unique flower structure can be fully appreciated. It’s also highly valued for drying to create long-lasting ornamental arrangements and makes a wonderful, unusual cut flower for fresh bouquets.

The seeds of Amaranth Love Lies Bleeding come with an all-natural coating made from a blend of clay, lime, and perlite, tinted with a food-grade coloring. This coating makes the seeds easier to handle and plant, ensuring better distribution.

You have the flexibility to either plant the seeds directly into your garden or start them indoors about 6-8 weeks before you plan to transplant them outside. For direct sowing, wait until the soil has warmed up. When starting indoors, sow seeds according to the instructions and provide adequate light and warmth.

Seedlings typically emerge within 10-15 days. If you started indoors, be sure to harden off the seedlings gradually before transplanting them to their final location in the garden, ensuring they have enough space to reach their mature size.

Amaranth Love Lies Bleeding thrives in full sun and prefers well-drained soil. Water regularly, especially during dry periods, to support its vigorous growth and abundant flowering.
