Love-Lies-Bleeding - Red Amaranth

60 days. The tall, 3-to 4-foot plants are covered with very long rope-like flowers of a deep, brilliant red color. One of the most striking plants for any garden, amaranth is one of our favorite crops! It is so easy to grow and a good seed producer, too. This is a very old heirloom, a pre-1700 variety, that was very popular. Young leaves are tasty as cooked greens.
