Notes
'Raspberry Cream' gomphrena (Gomphrena globosa 'Raspberry Cream') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, 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. Butterflies and bees visit its glowing, creamy raspberry blooms. It is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything. The plant grows 18 to 28 inches tall and tolerates drought.
Pairs well with Wave Purple Classic petunia, Red fescue, and Pearly everlasting.
