Amaranth 'Loves Lies Bleeding'

Ropes of deep red, trailing blooms give this variety a nostalgic, Victorian charm and a graceful presence in arrangements. It adds fantastic colour and texture to fresh bouquets or large containers. When dried, the blooms shift from green to a light tan, making them perfect for fall designs. A wonderful complement to Coral Fountain and Green Tails (Emerald Tassels), as all share similar growth habits, days to maturity, and bold impact in arrangements. Also known as Tassel Flower. For straight stems when drying, hang blooms upside down.
