Love-Lies-Bleeding
This plant is an Heirloom with a very tiny seed. I started it indoor 8 weeks before the last spring frost and then transplanted it twice before it's final destination.
I am proud of this plant not only because it is really unusual and pretty but because it is so satisfying that I did not have to purchase it from the nursery. I actually saw these plant's last week at the local nursery for around $9.00 dollars a plant!
The tassels are beautiful and fun. I also read that they attract song birds, and really I have noticed some distinct songs. I wish I had my camera earlier as I had a Red Robbin perched right near this beautiful plant.
