Gomphrena globosa forms rounded flower heads whose papery bracts retain colour when dried.
Botanical characteristics
This explains its place alongside other seed-grown flowers for dried arrangements. It is commonly grown as a warm-season annual and suits full sun with well-drained soil. Garden selections differ in habit and colour; one height does not describe the entire assortment.
Papery bracts and assortment choices
The Buddy group is documented as dwarf, providing a useful comparison with the listed tall mixed reference. White is a further named colour entry for seed resellers. These choices separate habit, mixture format and colour within a bulk flower-seed assortment.
