Growth habit and care

Gomphrena globosa QIS® Pink is a sun-loving annual summer plant that grows best in full sun and well-drained, humus-rich soil. The plants are drought-tolerant and relatively low-maintenance, but benefit from regular watering during hot, dry spells.

Care tips

• Plant 25–30 cm apart for optimal air circulation and uniform growth

• Remove dead flowers to encourage new blooms

• Avoid over-fertilization as this can cause the stems to become limp.

• Provide sufficient sunlight for intense color development

The compact, uniform plants remain neat and strong, making them suitable for both novice and experienced gardeners.
