Growth habit and care

Gomphrena globosa QIS® White 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 spells.

Care tips

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

• Remove dead flowers to prolong flowering

• Avoid over-fertilization; too much food can make the stems limp

• Provide plenty of sunlight for intense, bright coloring

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