Gomphrena Seeds
Gomphrena pulchella
If Fireworks gomphrena could make noise, it would be an earsplitting KABOOM! Spiky, chive-blossom-like 1-2 in. flower clusters consist of a vivid, iridescent pink bundle of bracts that have many showy neon yellow stamens. Even though it can reach up to 4 ft. tall, Fireworks gomphrena is a "see through plant" that blends well when planted together with lower growing flowers. The shiny green foliage stays in a low, 3 ft. wide mound under long, wiry flower stems that allow other flowers to grow through them. A florist's dream, each Fireworks gomphrena plant produces dozens of dazzling blooms from early summer until frost that last long as fresh cut or dried flowers. Fireworks was a star performer at the Mississippi State University flower trials, excelling through blazing heat, steamy humidity and prolonged drought.
