These small pom pom blooms on straight stems are great fun, with the two-tone colours and firework-like shape.
Gomphrena:
Commonly known as globe amaranth love sun and once established are drought-resistant.
The flowers (and leaves) are edible, they are not the best taste or texture but fun to use as botanical sprinkles, garnishes on cookies, salads and summer dishes, or for herbal tea
Loved by pollinators – they are nectar-rich
Excellent as cut flowers or dried in arrangements, and cutting encourages new blooms.
