Care
Gomphrena globosa 'Audray Pink' Care
Plant outdoors after the final spring frost once soil temperatures have warmed. Provide full sun for best flowering and compact growth.
Grow in well-drained soil. Water regularly during establishment, then allow the soil surface to dry slightly between waterings. Once established, plants tolerate heat and short dry periods.
Fertilize lightly during active growth with a slow release fertilizer if needed.
Deadheading is optional but can encourage continued blooming. In windy areas, light staking may help support stems.
