Gomphrena pulchella
(100 days) Open pollinated.

Annual. A novel Gomphrena with hot pink blooms tipped with bright yellow star-shaped stamens, like little fireworks. Great cutflower with notably sturdy long stems on 2–4' tall tiered plants. Blooms last for more than a week in a vase and dry down easily for everlasting arrangements. Scaffolding habit distinguishes it from other Gomphrenas we carry.

A charming addition to beds and mixed containers. We noticed them in planters on Main St. in Belfast, ME, where an array of pollinators enjoyed them as much as we did.

Annual. Beautiful round clover-like 1" flowers on 2' stems perfect for drying. Also enjoyable as bedding plant. We’ve chosen for earliness, floriferousness, compact habit and good stem length.

Culture: Easily grown in any soil, likes hot sun, blooms prolifically. Tolerates dry weather and some frost. Chill seed 4–6 weeks at 40°, then start indoors at 60–70° for best germination. Germination is erratic; can take from 7–30 days. Grow on at 55–60°. Do not overwater. Transplant in 8–12 weeks, spacing at 12–18".
