CloseThe dramatic, crimson tassels of love-lies-bleeding make it a unique plant, with a long history in colonial American and Victorian English gardens. Place up front as a focal point, or in the back of a border. Tassels can reach 18", last for many weeks, and are excellent for fresh or dried flower arrangements. Also called tassel flower.
| Seed Depth | ⅛" |
|---|---|
| Seed Spacing | A group of 3 seeds every 18" – 24" |
| Thinning | When 1" – 2" tall, thin to 1 every 18" – 24" |
| Germination | 7 – 14 days |
| Start Indoors | 6 to 8 weeks before your average last frost date. Sow in biodegradable pots that can be directly planted in the ground; roots are sensitive to disturbance. |
| Direct Sow | 1 to 2 weeks after your average last frost date. |
| Growing & Harvesting | For longest vase life, harvest in the morning, choosing stems with 1/2-3/4 of the flowers open. Pick for dried use when the seed has begun to set and the flowers are firm to the touch. Stand the cut stems in a dry vase in a warm, dry, dark area for at least 10 days. |
