Botanical Name
Gomphrena pulchella 'Fireworks'
Common Name
Globe Amaranth
Family
Amaranthaceae
It has been our experience that Gomphrena pulchella 'Fireworks' is a great plant for our area. We have found it to be very showy and a great pollinator attractor. However, it does grow quite tall, as we have found it to reach about four feet or more in height. It also prefers to be in a well drained soil and does not appreciate instances of flooding.
