Wildflowers - Love Lies Bleeding Seeds
Fill that empty corner of the yard with this unusual showstopper of a plant. Not your typical flower, this annual forms long, crimson ropes of tiny buds amongst large leaves. Reaching up to 4' tall, this variety prefers full sun. Since the plant reseeds very readily, care must be taken to not let it spread more than desired. Love Lies Bleeding also performs well in containers or hanging baskets.

As a decorative flower, Love-Lies-Bleeding plant seeds grew in many Victorian English gardens; in the language of flowers, it represents hopeless love. In addition to producing lovely flowers, Love-Lies-Bleeding is a form of the grain-producing plant known as amaranth. A staple grain for the Aztecs and Incas, amaranth was referred to as the "golden grain of the gods" and used in religious rituals. The plant nearly died out when the Spanish Conquistadors declared the religious practices barbaric, and made growing amaranth a capital offense. Today, both the leaves and the seeds of amaranth are an important food source in many parts of the world. This unique grain provides an impressive amount of vitamins and minerals, as well as being very rich in protein.Starting at $2.50 USD
