July 1, 2013Q.Love Lies Bleeding
I purchased 4 LLB established plants and have transferred them to ceramic pots. . . 1/pot. They have begun to flower; however, the flowers do not look as robust as in the on-line pictures. The flower is not as dark and it is skinnier. They do get the AM sun and some PM sun until 2. Should I fertilze it, or move them so they get full sun all day?

July 4, 2013A.There are different varieties of amaranthus, and different cultivars within each variety, each having varying color and texture flowers. Your plants will exhibit best color, texture and form if given full sun. Fertilization will help produce optimum bloom. Use a well balanced fertilizer, like 20-20-20, according to package directions.

November 26, 2013Q.Amaranthus cruentus (Love lies bleeding)
I have a Amaranthus cruentus (Love lies bleeding) that I grew from seeds and is now about 15 in long. The plant, however, does not seem to be standing up on its own yet. Do I need sticks for it, or will it eventually stand on its own once it gets stronger? It's in a deep pot, but it's hanging over the edges. About four stalks sprouted, all about a few inches apart.

Certified ExpertA.If it is not yet standing up, then you may want to give it some support. Weak stalks would indicate that the plant may not be getting enough sunlight, so you may want to check that as well.

14127Q.Amaranthus love lies bleeding
I live in western NY and I just bought a few 1' tall amaranthus plants. Could they still reach maturity planted this late in a pot? I do get about 4 hours of direct sun.

July 31, 2016A.If you care for them consistently, they will definitely continue to grow but no guarantees on whether they'll be able to reach the full bushy look that they're known for.
Worst case scenario, they'll go dormant in the fall and you might try bringing the containers in for the winter (cut back on watering when you do).

April 30, 2017Q.Leaves are falling off or being eaten
I'm love lies bleeding plants from seeds and they have grown to be about an inch. I don't know if I planted them right but they have grown quite well. However, the leaves of my little plants are falling and or being eaten and I don't know how to prevent that. I have also seen bites on the leaves. A lot of them are dying as well and I really want them to grow. Please help!! Thank you!

May 2, 2017A.It looks like your seedlings are excessively wet and have developed mold and fungus issues.
Make sure you use a light mix made for growing seeds.
The containers need to drain and the seedling will need bright light and some air circulation.These articles have more information on starting seeds and the care of Love Lies Bleeding.
