Notes
'Pinball White' globe amaranth (Gomphrena globosa 'Pinball White') is an annual for borders, containers, and pollinator gardens. 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. It grows 12 to 24 inches tall, and butterflies and bees visit the flowers. Deer tend to pass it by. Its drought tolerance makes it an easy choice for busy gardeners.
Pairs well with First Knight fountain grass, Black-eyed Susan, Celosia, and Blackfoot daisy.
