LOVE-LIES-BLEEDING Amaranthus caudatus (A.melancholicus)
The essence of Victoriana with its pendulous, chenille- like marooncoloured ropes up to 3' in length. Very dramatic. Grown in Britain since the late 1500s. D.S. and thin early. Ht. 2'-4', Sp. 16".


Polygonum Orientale
“Kiss-Me-Over-The-Garden-Gate”
First grown in the US by Thomas Jefferson, “Kiss-Me-Over-The-Garden-Gate” is a spectacular, old-fashioned cottage garden favorite. Fast growing, the thick, sturdy stems rise to 5’ and bear flamboyant, arching, pendulous bright pink, bead like, flower clusters 3”-4” long. Lush, heart-shaped leaves are very pretty. Makes an excellent cut flower too. Rich soil is best. Reseeds!
