Amaranthus Caudatus Green Cut Flower Seeds

Overview

Amaranthus caudatus Green (Love lies Bleeding) is a spectacular plant that produces long vivid green tassels of flowers that hang down from the upright branches. It is easy and quick to grow and reaches 75cm tall.

It gives an exotic looking appearance to a display and complements other more vibrant flowers, but looks equally well with pastel colours and more formal arrangements. An exciting and unusual addition to the garden or a vase. It can also be dried for 'everlasting' flowers.
