Gomphrena Seed ( Annual )

In northern areas, Gomphrena should be started indoors by April 15 for July blooms. Transplant l0 inches apart. It responds to very warm soil conditions for proper germination (80°F), so you could not sow it outside until June.
This would be too late, as they need about 10 weeks to produce flowers. Gomphrena is a good cut flower, and lasts for days. It is also a fine Everlasting.
Flowers dry quickly and easily for winter arrangements, retaining their shape and color.
