Love-Lies-Bleeding drapes beds in long, burgundy tassels that look like velvet ropes—Victorian drama with modern usefulness. Young leaves are edible greens; mature seed heads yield tiny, protein-rich grain.

Native to the Americas and prized worldwide, amaranth thrives in heat and poor soil. Direct sow after frost, thin for airflow, and let a few heads dry for seed. Ornamental, edible, resilient—this plant really does it all.

Plant seeds directly into the garden starting 1-2 weeks after average last frost date. Optimum soil temperature for seed germination is 65-75 degrees. Or, start seeds indoors 3-4 weeks before your anticipated planting date. Set transplants in the garden 1 to 2 weeks after danger of frost has passed. S
eedlings can be sensitive to transplant shock. Do not disturb roots when transplanting, and water thoroughly.
The leaves, young flowers, and seeds of red garnet are all edible, making it versatile for use as a cooked/raw green, a beautiful ornamental or a grain crop.
