Description

The listing, Love-Lies-Bleeding (10 seeds) Amaranthus caudatus from Thomas Jefferson's Monticello has ended.

When Jefferson noted "Amaranths" on an undated manuscript of garden flowers, he was probably referring to the Love Lies Bleeding, a curious summer annual cultivated by the earliest American flower gardeners. Its common name suggests the unusual, cascading red flowers that droop to the ground during the summer.

Questions & Comments

From what I've found on-line, they should be. You just want to make sure you wait to plant them after the last expected frost. You could start the seeds inside earlier if your growing season is particularly short. Just make sure they get plenty of sun.
