Showy is an understatement when it comes to these bright globes of the summer garden. Not only do they sport bold colors, they add unique texture with their papery blooms. The more you cut, the more they bloom. This colorful blend becomes even more vibrant when pollinators discover it! Flowers last up to 2 weeks in the vase and are perfect for drying. Also known as globe amaranth, the tough plants don't flinch at hot, humid weather or even drought.

    I just ordered and started these inside, so my review doesn't include the final result. I just wanted to rave about the germination I got! I have read that gomphrena germination in general can be shakey, so I kind of prepared myself for the worst. However, from this Botanical Interests pack, 11/12 seeds started germinated! So I'm very happy with that and can't wait to see how they look when they bloom.

    My order was delivered quickly. The seed packets show photos and instructions on how to plant them.

    I like the customer service Botanical Interests provides.

    I would recommend this company to anyone.

    I’m so happy I discovered this gomphrena. Still looking lovely in November, but during hot dry summer they were amazing. I ordered more seeds for next years flower beds.

    These took a lot longer to sprout than I anticipated but once they did, they grew quickly and strongly. Took up way more space than I thought they would. LOVE how showy they are. The vase life on these has been incredible too. Can’t wait to grow more.

    I would! Unfortunately, only two of my flower seeds came up? I don't know why. Perhaps in the future, you would be willing to send a note with the seeds as to what to expect and how to care for them from seed to sprout to flower? I followed the planting information on the packet but no luck with a few.
