When Jefferson noted "Amaranths" on an undated manuscript of garden flowers, he was probably referring to the Love-Lies-Bleeding, a curious summer annual cultivated by the earliest American flower gardeners. Its common name suggests the unusual, cascading red flowers that droop to the ground during the summer.
