Notes
'Truffula Pink' silverhead (Gomphrena pulchella 'Truffula Pink') is an annual for borders, containers, and low maintenance gardens. Frost will kill it, so set it out only after the last frost in spring. This plant likes full sun, average moisture, and most soil types. It grows 24 to 36 inches tall and wide. Butterflies and bees visit the blooms, and the plant is drought tolerant.
Pairs well with First Knight fountain grass, Supertunia Honey petunia, and ProCut Plum sunflower.
