Amaranth Love Lies Bleeding is an heirloom flower variety prized for its vibrant, cascading deep red blooms that reach heights of up to 60 inches, bringing timeless Victorian charm and dramatic elegance to gardens and floral displays. This striking variety typically blooms within approximately 80 days and boasts a robust germination rate exceeding 70%, ensuring reliable establishment and consistent performance season after season. Beyond ornamental appeal, Love Lies Bleeding offers remarkable versatility that sets it apart from typical garden flowers. The tender greens are edible and delicious when boiled or added to soups, providing nutritious harvests alongside stunning visual impact. The abundant seeds can be popped like popcorn for a unique snack or milled into highly nutritious flour for baking and cooking—making this plant a true dual-purpose powerhouse for gardeners seeking both beauty and sustenance. The distinctive drooping flower spikes create natural focal points in garden beds, borders, and containers while providing exceptional material for fresh and dried arrangements. Love Lies Bleeding thrives in warm, sunny locations and tolerates heat and drought better than many ornamental plants, making it ideal for challenging growing conditions. The tall, architectural form adds structure and drama to mixed plantings, cottage gardens, and cutting gardens. Whether you're a culinary gardener exploring edible flowers and seeds, a florist seeking distinctive arrangement material, or a traditional gardener wanting heirloom beauty with practical benefits, Love Lies Bleeding delivers on all fronts.
