Amaranthus Caudatus Love Lies Bleeding
Amaranthus caudatus commonly called love-lies-bleeding or tassel flower, gets its unusual common name from its tiny blood red petalless flowers that bloom in narrow, drooping, tassel-like, terminal and axillary panicles throughout the growing season. Panicles typically hang straight down to 12” (infrequently to 24”) long. Native to India, Africa and Peru, this is an annual that usually grows 2-4’ tall.
