Amaranthus caudatus 'Cascade Green'
love-lies-bleeding
‘Cascade Green’ is the perfect foliage filler, a short-lived perennial with long, elegant rope-like pale green tassels that tumble from within a bright green leafy curtain in summer and autumn. Pair with dahlias, in bloom at the same time, for a superb, late season show.
How to care for Amaranthus caudatus Cascade Green:
Keep the plants well-watered and feed regularly during the growing season.
Sowing instructions:
Provide protection from frost and sow 1mm deep into good seed compost. When large enough to handle, thin seedlings out and pot them on individually. Pinching out the growing tips will encourage bushier growth. After risk of frost has passed, gradually harden off and plant outside in a sunny, sheltered spot with soil conditioned with well-rotted organic matter. Allow at least 30cm between each plant.
