Tall Mixed Gomphrena is a colourful, free-flowering annual producing masses of globe-shaped, papery blooms on long, upright stems. The mixture includes a range of vibrant colours, typically including purple, pink, magenta, rose and white.
Also known as Globe Amaranth, this taller form is particularly well suited to cottage gardens, borders and cutting gardens. The long stems make excellent cut flowers, while the blooms retain their colour and shape beautifully when dried for everlasting arrangements. In the garden, they are also attractive to bees, butterflies and other pollinating insects.
Hardy and easy to grow, Gomphrena thrives in warm weather, full sun and well-drained soil and develops good tolerance of heat and dry conditions once established. Regular picking encourages continued flowering throughout the warmer months.
