Key Characteristics
Description / 'Strawberry Fields' Gomphrena Seeds
Blazing like fireballs in the sunny summer-to-fall annual garden, this 'Strawberry Fields' Gomphrena (Globe Amaranth) is a carefree, long-blooming, colorful joy no garden should be without.
The 1- to 1½-inch blooms appear at the top of very long, extra-sturdy olive-green stems, so that when they open, they bob in the summer sun well above the foliage on 2-foot plants. 'Strawberry Fields' Gomphrena is long-lasting in the garden, they are also very reliable in the vase, keeping their color for more than a week. And 'Strawberry Fields' Gomphrena are unexcelled as Everlastings, where their huge, round shape and strong color add a welcome change of pace from the grasses and autumnal tones of many dried flowers and foliage.
Easy to grow in the sun-drenched garden, 'Strawberry Fields' Gomphrena is wonderfully resistant to both heat and drought, keeping its blooms and its fresh foliage looking neat and colorful through the worst excesses of August. A mass planting is a fabulous sight, and this Globe Amaranth also belongs in the cutting garden, where you can snip as many of the plentiful blooms as you need to fill your vases. To dry, simply cut the stem at the desired height, trim off any foliage, and hang the flower upside-down in a well-ventilated, dry, somewhat cool location.

Didn't grow 0 people found this helpfulWas really excited about these, but not a single plant came up. Followed the directions exactly and nothing. :(

Beautiful & Strong 1 people found this helpfulI bought these seeds a few couple of years ago and they have done wonderfully here in southern Arizona. They germinated easily and grew tall and beautiful in pots in my front courtyard. I covered them in the winter when we got close to freezing temperatures and they survived! They are easy to care for and they do well in hot and direct sunlight. They are superstars in my garden -- superstars for their beauty and superstars for thriving the summer heatwaves.

Beautiful and Long Blooming 0 people found this helpfulThese plants produce beautiful red flowers that are very sturdy and perfect for cut arrangements. They have been in bloom continuously for 3 months in the brutally hot Florida sun. Love them!

Summer delights 0 people found this helpfulI love these elegant, strong and beautiful flowers! They survived the southern Arizona heat and heavy monsoon season with hail, heavy wind and rain this summer. I’d submit photos if I knew how to, they are tall and so beautiful clustered in pots.

So many compliments! 0 people found this helpfulI grew these last year in a mass by my front steps. They work best in a densely planted group where they really stand out. Super flowers and lovely foliage.

Amazing flower 0 people found this helpfulI planted this last year and it did not disappoint me. It is a very prolific bloomer and not wild looking like the firecracker gomphrena, because it doesn't get as tall.
