Amaranthus caudatus
AMARANTH-LOVE LIES BLEEDING is a striking garden plant that has impressive, richly coloured tassels. Great cut flower. Terrific as a pot plant or backdrop in a mixed bed or border. Produces large, pendulous flower heads that remain attractive for much of the summer. Height: 90cm Also called ‘Kiss Me Over the Garden Gate’ the dangling ropes of tiny burgundy blossoms have a wonderful texture, like soft chenille. Each Amaranthus plant can carry tens of thousands of flower seeds, & it self-seeds very easily. The amaranth genus, especially the seed, was used as a food source for the Incas and Aztecs. Leaves & seeds are very edible, cook the same as Spinach.
