Gomphrena 'QIS™ Formula Mix'
Gomphrena globosa
I absolutely adore this mix for its incredible productivity and versatility: featuring delicate shades of white, blush pink, soft salmon, and rich plum. Plants are incredibly prolific, producing numerous fuzzy blooms on strong, sturdy stems. The more you cut, the more they bloom—a workhorse in the cut flower garden. Whether fresh for romantic garden-style designs or dried for everlasting accents, they shine in everything from bouquets to small design work like corsages, boutonnières, crowns, and more.
Packet contains approximately 50 seeds.
