Why Choose Love Lies Bleeding Amaranth?

Planting Tips for Success

• Sunlight: Choose full sun with 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight daily.
• Soil: Plant in well-drained soil and avoid areas that remain waterlogged.
• Sowing: Direct sow after frost danger has passed and soil has warmed. For an earlier start, sow indoors 4 to 6 weeks before the last frost. Sow shallowly and keep the seedbed evenly moist during germination.
• Spacing: Thin or transplant seedlings 12 to 18 inches apart to allow room for branching.
• Watering: Water regularly until established, then provide water during dry spells. Aim water at the soil rather than soaking the flowers.
• Fertilizing: Use a balanced fertilizer according to its label and your soil needs. Avoid excess nitrogen, which can encourage leafy growth over flowers.
• Support: Stake tall plants or use flower-support netting in windy sites to help protect stems and cascading tassels.
• Harvesting: Cut well-colored flowers for fresh arrangements. For drying, hang stems in a dry, shaded, well-ventilated space.
