“Love Lies Bleeding” Amaranthus Caudatus, 100 seeds

Amaranth is fast becoming a multifunctional plant in gardens worldwide. This stunning low-maintenance ornamental produces long draping crimson flowers. But the benefits don’t stop there. As a heat tolerant food crop, the tender leaves of Amaranth make delicious, cooked greens during hot summer months that are just too hot and harsh for many greens. When these greens bolt, seeds of Amaranth produce a highly nutritional gluten-free grain containing higher levels of protein and lysine that oats. Sowing Amaranth seeds is simple. After the danger of frost has passed, direct sow on surface in full sun.
