Strawberry Fields Gomphrena
Gomphrena haageana
Certified Organic
Grown on Our Farm
Grow the cutest little strawberry lookalikes! From early summer until the first hard frost, these berry-shaped, clover-like blossoms bring cheer to borders and cutting gardens. The vibrant, papery blooms add interest to container groupings. For flower beds, try a dense planting for the best effect. Drying Gomphrena is easy: simply snip the stems near the base of the plant and hang upside down in a dark, well-ventilated room. Easy to grow, drought tolerant, and irresistibly sweet!

Growing instructions
Direct sow after last frost, or sow indoors 6-8 weeks before last frost and then transplant after last frost. Plants enjoy full sun and tolerate poor, dry soil. Cut often to promote bud formation. Dry flowers by cutting stems and hanging them upside down in small clusters.
