Globosa Mixed Gomphrena

Annual. Often called Globe Amaranth (it is an amaranth relative, but petite by comparison), plants seldom exceed 2 feet in height. The thimble-shaped, papery flower heads are just an inch across and produced in great numbers. Colors are tones of white, pink, and rosy reds. Great for cut-flower use and fine for drying. Also well proportioned for containers, where it makes an unusually long-lasting display. Takes heat and drought, too. Beloved old-fashioned garden plant that is finding renewed favor!
