Notes
'Audray Mix' gomphrena (Gomphrena globosa 'Audray Mix') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, pollinator gardens, and containers. It is tender to cold, and the first hard frost will kill it. This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist soil of most types. Red, pink, and rose blooms sit on erect stems that reach 18 to 28 inches tall. Butterflies and bees visit the flowers, and the plant tolerates drought. Deer tend to pass it by. Growers prefer this series for tall, uniform plants and stems.
