How to grow
How To Grow Gomphrena From Seed: Plant Gomphrena Globosa seeds either indoors, several weeks before the last frost is expected, or directly outdoors when the temperatures have warmed.
If sowing Gomphrena seed indoors, transplant the seedlings to the sunny garden spot when they are several inches tall. If growing Globe Amaranth from flower seeds specifically for cutting, space the plants closer together to force the growth of longer stems.

Flower Specifications
Gophrena plants are used in annual beds and borders. In mass plantings, the round flower heads produce an interesting texture, and their bright colors last late into the season. Their low stature makes them well suited for edging around taller plantings. Globe Amaranth is often grown in containers on the porch or deck.
