Amaranthus caudatus
Bring a touch of drama to the garden with this heirloom ornamental amaranth. Love Lies Bleeding is famous for its spectacular, cascading tassels of deep crimson flowers that spill gracefully from tall green stems. A true showstopper in summer and autumn, it makes a striking feature in garden beds, cottage plantings, and floral arrangements.
Growing to around 1–1.5m tall, it thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. The blooms are not only beautiful fresh but also dry well for long-lasting displays. Traditionally valued for its nutrient-rich seeds, this variety today is mostly grown for its bold ornamental appeal. Easy to grow and quick to make an impact, Love Lies Bleeding adds richness, movement, and old-world charm to any garden.
