Gomphrena White Seeds

A clean and long flowering annual with globe shaped, clover like blooms in crisp white.

 

It forms upright, multi branched plants with narrow green foliage and flowers continuously from midsummer to the first frosts. Its papery blooms retain colour when dried, making it ideal for fresh and everlasting arrangements.

 

This heat and drought tolerant annual thrives in full sun and well-drained soil and is perfect for low-maintenance gardens, pollinator habitats, and cutting.

 

It attracts bees and butterflies and adds soft contrast to vibrant plantings.
