Gomphrena QIS Carmine
Description
Gomphrena QIS Carmine is an excellent cut flower that keeps its color when dried, with long, 2' stems and large blooms of an unusual, striking color. One tough little plant, Gomphrena takes whatever nature slings at it—extreme heat, humidity, insect, and disease pressure—and shrugs it off! This variety is bright crimson and one of the best.
Also known as globe amaranth and Rio Grande globe amaranth.
