Love-Lies-Bleeding Amaranth

Amaranth with edible leaves and glorious flowers that form long tassels. Really pretty for cut flowers. Attracts loads of beneficial insects over the summer months. Need light for seeds to germinate so surface sow outdoors in warm weather. Strip pest eaten leaves off and it will flush new growth. Also handles being cut back well.

Good to start from seed in these months:

North Florida: April-August 

Central Florida: March-September

South Florida: February-October
