White Flower Farm Gomphrena globosa
Best low-maintenance annual for gardeners who love drying their own flowers.
These vibrant, clover-like blooms bring a sculptural, architectural edge to any garden bed or container. While they demand a spot in full sun, their exceptional drought tolerance and ability to hold their color in dried arrangements make them a low-maintenance powerhouse for late-season interest.
