Unit price perGomphrena globosa
Choice Mixed Gomphrena is a hardy, free-flowering annual producing masses of distinctive globe-shaped blooms on tall, slender stems. The mixture includes a cheerful range of colours, typically including pink, purple, magenta, white and rose.
Also known as Globe Amaranth, Gomphrena is excellent for cottage gardens, borders and cutting gardens. The papery flowers are particularly valuable for fresh and dried arrangements, retaining their shape and colour remarkably well after drying. In the garden, the flowers are also attractive to bees, butterflies and other pollinating insects.
Easy to grow and tolerant of heat and dry conditions once established, Gomphrena thrives in warm weather, full sun and well-drained soil. Regular picking encourages continued flower production throughout summer.
Seed count: approximately 400 seeds/g
Approximately 80 seeds per packet
When to Plant (Australia)
Tropics: Spring to autumn
Subtropics: Spring to summer
Mild climates: Spring to summer
Cold climates: Late spring to summer after frost
Planting / Sowing
Sow directly or raise in trays once conditions are warm. Cover seed lightly and keep consistently moist during germination.
Transplant or thin seedlings to approximately 20–30 cm apart in full sun and well-drained soil. For dried flowers, harvest stems when the blooms are fully coloured and hang upside down in a dry, well-ventilated place.
Due to quarantine restrictions, TAS has an 800g limit per each seed variety and WA has a 10,000 seeds limit per variety.

FLOWER SEEDS WITH EDEN
Flower seeds: As fellow gardening enthusiasts we share the love for planting and nurturing our own flowers in addition to our veggie gardens. Our carefully selected range of flower seeds, available for convenient online purchase, holds a special place in our hearts. Like the endangered vegetables we've championed, these flower varieties face the risk of vanishing forever. Some of these older strains are incredibly rare, and it's a source of immense pride for us to offer and deliver these precious flower seeds Australia-wide.
