Details
These upright, eye catching annuals make a beautiful filler in your garden or bouquet! Gomphrena 'Strawberry Fields' produces neat cones of an unusually deep, clear red on straight stems that reach 2 ft above narrow, gray-green leaves. Extremely attractive to bees and butterflies, these clover-like red pom poms are considered everlasting, like Celosias, meaning they will stand the test of time when used in dried arrangements. Plants thrive in heat and tolerate extreme humidity.
