Description
Love-Lies-Bleeding amaranth grows tall plants with long, trailing tassels of deep crimson that spill from the stems like velvet ropes. Few annuals bring this much movement and old-world drama to the garden, especially in late summer when the pendulous blooms sway over beds and pathways.
Beautiful fresh or dried, the tassels make unforgettable bouquets and everlasting arrangements. Amaranth is also a traditional edible crop, with young leaves and mature seeds used as food in many cultures, making this variety both ornamental and rooted in practical garden history.
