Notes
'QIS Pink' gomphrena (Gomphrena globosa 'QIS Pink') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, 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. Deer tend to pass it by. The pale, blush pink blooms attract butterflies and bees. It stands erect, grows 18 to 28 inches tall, and tolerates drought.
Pairs well with Wave Purple Classic petunia, Red fescue, and Black Velvet nasturtium.
