Brighten Your Garden: Globe Amaranth Seeds - Gomphrena Globosa, Perfect for Vibrant Flower Beds Globe Amaranth is an annual flowering plant. The good thing about being an annual is that it can be grown in many growing zones, even the colder ones like ours in zone 5b. In cooler climates these annual flowers can be started indoors early in the season.
The round-shaped flower inflorescences are a visually dominant feature and cultivars have been propagated to exhibit shades of magenta, purple, red, orange, white, pink, and lilac. Within the flowerheads, the true flowers are small and inconspicuous. As a tropical annual plant, G. Globosa blooms continuously throughout summer and early fall. It is very heat tolerant and fairly drought resistant but grows best in full sun and regular moisture. Gomphrena globosa is an outcrossing species that is pollinated by butterflies, bees, and other insects. Floral volatiles likely play a significant role in the reproductive success of the plant by promoting the attraction of pollinators.
To add a splash of color and texture to your landscape, try growing Globe Amaranth (Gomphrena) from seed. This tough annual has lovely clover-like blossoms that come in a rainbow of colors, from white to red to pink and purple. Starting in the summer and continuing all the way into October, you may create a stunning display with varying hues. Following these steps will ensure that your Globe Amaranth grows well from seed.
