Description
Latin Name: Gomphrena globosa. About the Plant: Annual. Often called Globe Amaranth, 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!
