Amaranthus caudatus is also known commonly as Love Lies Bleeding, Pendant Amaranth, Tassal Flower, Velvet Flower and Foxtail Amaranth among other names. The plant is an annual and is easily grown from seed. At One Love Farm we sow seeds directly into the ground after danger of frost has passed, but you can also be successful sowing seeds indoors and transplanting after your last frost date. Love Lies Bleeding is edible and used as food in India and South America where the leaves and seeds are eaten. We enjoy using Love Lies Bleeding in bouquets where its striking red color and weeping character are enjoyed.
