Description

The listing, Love lies bleeding duo (red and green) has ended.

20 seeds total, 10 each in seperate packs. Both are beautiful amaranthus plants.. the red does tolerate some shade and the green loves the sun. These are from my greenhouse supplier for the 2014 growing season and both reseed themselves.

Love Lies Bleeding (Amaranthus Caudatus Green) - Another great choice in Amaranthus seeds! Most people are familiar with red Amaranthus Love-Lies-Bleeding flowers, but this unusual green-flowered variety is also an heirloom that is catching on fast! It grows easily from flower seed and makes a striking addition to any flower garden. All summer long (and sometimes even into fall!) your garden will be filled with lime-green blooms on weeping stems up to 2 feet long! The prostrate 18-24 inch stems make perfect additions to large arrangements. They also dry well and work into dried arrangements nicely.

Green Amaranthus grows quickly and easily from flower seed in any well-drained soil receiving full sunshine. Expect it to reach anywhere from 3 to 5 feet tall and 18 to 30 inches wide. Green Love-Lies-Bleeding flower seed can be sown indoors 6 weeks before last frost and transplanted outdoors. The flower seed can also be sown directly outdoors after danger of frost.

Amaranthus (Amaranthus Caudatus Red) - Commonly known as Love Lies Bleeding, these unique flowers are extremely hardy, and they can grow just about anywhere from flower seed. This Amaranthus has elongated red flowers that hang to the ground. It blooms all summer long! Each Amaranthus plant can carry tens of thousands of flower seeds, and it will self-seed very easily. The amaranth genus, especially the seed, was used as a food source for the Incas and Aztecs. Grows 3 to 4 foot tall.

Thank you for looking.

Oddly enough, yes. However they do not make exceptional houseplants. Amaranthus reseeds itself each year. Which is a good thing because they tend to die off. People do grow them indoors sometimes, but they do not last a long time like other houseplants.
