About this Product
Love Lies Bleeding is an old heirloom from the bouquet. It has a lot going for it besides its beauty and unique presentation. In the Victorian era, it is said that giving a blood long of these was so symbolic that a card or words weren't needed. The long red grain-laden blooms symbolized dripping blood and giving these to someone represented undying devotion.
Dramatics aside, nowadays this variety is grown as a stunning ornamental plant. The blooms harness an edible grain that can be eaten similar to cereal and the leaves are highly nutritious and edible. These grow up to 50 inches tall and should be grown as an annual or a short-lived perennial. These are container friendly. They do tolerate drought and heat but they still prefer moisture-rich soil.
Maturity days: 60

Meet the Maker
Welcome to Blue Pumpkin Seed Co.! My lifelong love of gardening, especially pumpkins, led me to create this company.
We started as a small family business on Etsy in 2020, sharing our passion for heirloom seeds. Over time, I took charge to ensure this labor of love would flourish. I'm thrilled to now offer you a carefully curated selection of seeds directly.
The wonder of watching a seed grow continues to inspire me. As a fellow gardener, I share the same excitement and joy for gardening as our customers do.
