Notes
'Pinball Lavender' globe amaranth (Gomphrena globosa 'Pinball Lavender') is an annual for borders, containers, and pollinator gardens. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist soil of most types. It grows 12 to 24 inches tall and 12 inches wide, and butterflies and bees visit the blooms. It sits low on the menu for deer. Drought tolerance makes it an easy choice for low care beds.
Pairs well with First Knight fountain grass, Zinnia, Celosia, and Black-eyed Susan.
