Growth habit and care

Gomphrena haageana QIS® Orange 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 low-maintenance, but benefit from regular watering during dry spells.

Care tips

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

• Remove dead flowers to prolong flowering

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

• Provide plenty of sunlight for intense, bright colors

The compact and uniform habit keeps the plants neat and strong, suitable for both novice and experienced gardeners.
