Pollinators are attracted to the flowers, which eventually produce protein-rich, edible seeds that you can harvest for yourself or leave for your bird friends.

I bought all the different amaranth seeds to try to see the difference. The love likes bleeding is my favorite. The plants grew to 5’3” tall or more. It was crazy! I completely mis-placed them in the circle of dirt that we called the “circle” garden. I usually put my tallest plants (usually snapdragons) in the very back, but these 5 seeds grew to 4 giant plants. Super stunning plants—all of them. The coral ones couldn’t hold a candle to the love lies bleeding or the red ones. These two could be a 5’ flower garden all on their own.

I had never grown any time of amaranth before this year, and was honestly a little wary because I always thought they were difficult to grow. I have dozens of these plants all over my garden now and it blows my mind how long some of the tassels are getting. Turns out they're extremely easy to grow, at least here in zone 9b.
