Notes
'Buddy White' globe amaranth (Gomphrena globosa 'Buddy White') is an annual for borders, rock gardens, and annual beds. It is tender to cold, and the first hard frost will kill it. This plant likes full or part sun and dry to average soil. It grows 9 to 12 inches tall with an erect habit and white blooms. Butterflies and bees visit the flowers, and the plant tolerates drought.
Pairs well with Supertunia Bordeaux petunia, Melampodium, and Red fescue.
