Love-Lies-Bleeding Amaranth has long, exotic ropes of rich, red flowers on spectacular stalks. Impressive in the garden and cut fresh or dried. Achieves best color in full sun and poor soils. Grown by Thomas Jefferson as early as 1786. Sometimes called Inca wheat, Amaranthus caudatus was a staple grain for the Incas and Aztecs, nearly as important in their diets and as widespread in Tropical America as was maize (corn). The cereal-like grain (about the size of a poppy seed) is high in protein, and high in lysine, an amino acid usually deficient in vegetables. In fact, amaranth seeds are extremely nutritious, with more protein than most cereals and a better balance of amino acids for the human diet than any other plant. The species is still cultivated in Bolivia, Peru and Ecuador, and now in India for its young leaves and seeds. Approx 100 seeds per pack

Molten Fire Amaranth is a beautiful 3-toned plant characterized by leaves of maroon which form "flowers" or rosettes at the top of each 4' stem, accented with flaming vermilion/fuschia centers. The leaves are edible and also make great "cut flowers" to brighten indoor flower arrangements. They do produce a dark red seed head composed of tiny flowers but the flowers go mostly unnoticed because of the showy foliage.
