Is this Amaranthus Caudatus, 'Love-lies-bleeding'? I tried growing it once but it gets too hot here to bloom well.

I think it’s a cruentus, but not positive on that. It’s a red amaranth obviously but it’s definitely not love lies bleeding. They have much more droopy hanging flowers.

I really like the Golden giant variety. One year I had a mix of seeds that gave me flowers just like this one but also had golden giant and a nearly white flowered variety as well. Absolutely gorgeous.
