Gomphrena x 'Pink Zazzle' This is not your grandmother's gomphrena.


And I do think of gomphrena as a grandmother's plant. But not this one! Many of my favorite plants are gray leafed, xeric, small, with pink flowers. Pink isn't my favorite color but I love this combination. And look at those hairs; Spiro would say it was hirsute. Plus the leaves are stiff and the plant is nicely branched, almost a symmetrical mound when grown in its own pot.

  1. I love gomphrena and grow it from seed every year. I saw the new Zazzle at the garden center but assumed it was packed with pesticides so I left it. I hope seeds come out soon and that it's not propagated only by tissue culture.
