Amaranthus caudatus, commonly known as Love-Lies-Bleeding, Foxtail Amaranth or Inca Wheat, is an annual plant that belongs to the Amaranthaceae family. “Amaranthus” is the Greek word for "unfading" as flowers and leaves hold their colour remarkably well. It is native to South America, although some varieties originate from Australia and Eurasia. 'Green Cascade' bears drooping creamy green to lime green flower tassels which can measure up to 40 cm in length. The upright, well-branched plants can grow to over a metre tall. The matt green foliage has distinct veining. Both leaves and seeds are edible and highly nutritious.
Love-Lies-Bleeding is a spectacular plant that brings a fresh, luxuriant to floral arrangements and flower beds. It looks sensational when planted in groups. Choose a sunny location that is sheltered from strong winds, in well-drained, cool soil. Amaranthus are excellent cut flowers – avoid overfilling the vase and make sure to change the water often to prevent stem rot.

Planting and care
From March to May, sow in pots or seed trays at a temperature of 20-25°C. Use good quality sowing mix and cover with a fine layer of compost or vermiculite. Keep the soil moist but not soggy and make sure to give the seeds enough light to germinate. When the plants are strong enough to handle, transplant them into larger pots. When all risk of frost is over, they are ready to be planted out in their final location. Water regularly to maintain soil moisture, especially during dry spells. Alternatively, direct sow in the garden in April-May when the ground has warmed up and all risk of frost is over. Thin out when the seedlings have two true leaves, leaving approximately 30 cm between each plant. Germination takes 21 days on average.
Amaranthus caudatus is a heat-loving plant that likes nitrogen-rich soil. Choose a sunny spot that is sheltered from strong winds, with light, fertile soil. Make sure to not overwater as this can cause root rot.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
