Notes
'Gnome White' globe amaranth (Gomphrena globosa 'Gnome White') is an annual for borders, containers, and pollinator gardens. Frost will kill it, so set it out only after the last frost in spring. This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist soil of most types. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. It grows erect and spreads about 12 inches, and butterflies and bees visit the blooms.
Pairs well with Zinnia, First Knight fountain grass, and Blackfoot daisy.
