Gomphrena QIS Orange

Description

Gomphrena QIS Orange is an excellent cut flower that boasts bold, vibrant orange globes of flower petals, measuring 2.5 to 4 cm, that sit atop sturdy 50-60 cm stems. It 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.

  • Height : 24 - 26" (61 - 66cm) 
  • Spacing : 5 - 6" (13 - 15cm)
  • Duration : (Sowing to finish): 15-18 weeks  

Environment

Gomphrena in light fertile soil that is well drained. It likes full sun. In beds space plants 8" to 12" apart. After initial flowering lightly cut back plants for a second showing. Alyssum grow well in containers.

Landscape

Plant them around the edge of the container for a cascading effect. Great in hanging baskets! 

Make sure your seedling tray or pot (whichever you choose) has a drainage hole in it. If you choose a pot, a 5€ pot should be fine. You can either use well drained soil or make a combination of 1 part each of cocopeat, vermiculite and perlite.

While sowing seeds make sure the soil is damp and not wet. Water the seeds as the soil starts to dry. It should always be moist, but never wet or muddy. Do not water the seeds if the soil is already moist to the touch, as overwatering your plant can be just as harmful as underwatering.

Keep the seedling tray in bright filtered light to begin with. Slowly introduce the plant to morning sun and bring it back in before the afternoon sun sets in. In a weeks time you can put it in direct sunlight.
