Notes
'Gnome mix' globe amaranth (Gomphrena globosa 'Gnome mix') is an annual for borders, containers, and pollinator gardens. It is not cold-hardy and will not survive freezing temperatures. This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist soil of most types. Butterflies and bees visit the flowers. It is drought tolerant, so it suits a low care spot. Deer tend to pass it by.
Pairs well with Zinnia, Celosia, and First Knight fountain grass.
