LET896 Rose ( Gomphrena globosa )
This rose colored Globe Amaranth has a brilliantly colored bloom about an inch wide and shaped something like a very fat strawberry. It grows on stiff stems which make it an ideal cutting flower.
Gophrena plants are used in annual beds and borders. In mass plantings, the round flower heads produce an interesting texture, and their bright colors last late into the season. Their low stature makes them well suited for edging around taller plantings. Globe Amaranth is often grown in containers on the porch or deck. Height 24".
