Amaranthus Red, commonly called Love Lies Bleeding, is a dramatic annual grown for its long, trailing red flower tassels. It brings a bold, old-fashioned look to gardens, cut-flower fields, farm stands, and arrangements. This is a great choice for customers who want something different from standard bedding plants and need height, texture, and movement in their plantings or bouquets.

Red (Love) Lies Bleeding) Selling Tips

Love Lies Bleeding is easy to sell as a “wow” plant. The long hanging tassels give gardens and bouquets a look customers do not see every day, which makes it stand out on the bench and in cut-flower displays. It is especially useful for growers selling to farm stands, floral designers, cottage garden customers, and anyone looking for bold texture instead of just another round flower.

General Growing Tips For Your Rooted Cutting Liner

Grow Amaranthus Red in full sun with well-drained soil. It performs best in warm weather and should not be planted out too early in cold conditions. A soil pH around 6.0 to 7.0 is a good general range. This crop does not need to be overly pampered; too much fertilizer can create excessive leafy growth and weaker stems. Use a light to moderate fertilizer program around 75 to 125 ppm nitrogen.

Flowering

Long, drooping red tassels bloom from summer until the first frost.

Pinching

Pinching is optional. Amaranthus Red does not typically require pinching, though providing structural support is strongly advised to maintain its upright habit

Spacing

For landscape or garden use, space plants around 12 to 18 inches apart. For cut-flower production, tighter spacing of 3-6 inches may be used to help encourage straighter stems and manageable plant size.

Pests

Monitor for aphids, spider mites, flea beetles, leaf miners, and caterpillars.

Disease

Watch for damping off, root rot, leaf spot, powdery mildew, and stem issues. Good airflow, proper spacing, and well-drained soil will help keep the crop healthier.

Planting Red (Love) Lies Bleeding) Liners

4-inch container: Plant one rooted plug per pot.

10-inch container: Plant two to three plugs per pot to achieve a full and dramatic presentation.

Rooted Cuttings

Cuttings vary in size between different plant families. These rooted starter plants will arrive ready to be transplanted in to your final container. If they are to be used in a landscape application, you will need to establish them in a 4 inch pot or an 1801 before planting outside.
