Strawberry Fields Gomphrena
Certified Organic
Gomphrena haageana
Red flowers that hold up well in a dried flower bouquet.
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!
This product was grown and processed on our own certified organic farm, Four Fold Farm, in the Hudson Valley of New York State.
