Globe Amaranth

Gomphrena

Globe amaranth is a beautiful and tough annual grown for its globe-shaped flower heads that bloom all summer and come in many bright colors, including pink, red, purple, lilac, violet, orange, and white.

Exposure: full sun
Soil: average, well-drained
Hardiness: use as an annual
