Summary

Gomphrena haageana—commonly known as Button Flower—is a semi-compact annual that's best known for its bright reddish, flower-like bracts that are incredibly well suited for drying and preservation. 

These bracts provide gorgeous color to your garden from summer through fall, and are known to retain their unique colors even after they are dried (everlasting). They're also especially eye-catching and long-lasting freshly cut flowers.

Similar to Gomphrena globosa, only taller and slightly more tender.

This particular cultivar, 'Strawberry Fields', is known for producing deep red bracts that are accented with hints of yellow and white.

Beautifully packed super-healthy plants!

I was so impressed with how lovingly and carefully the plants were packed and shipped and also by their sizes. I've stopped ordering from other places because not only are the plants tiny and expensive, a couple of them usually die after I plant them. The Gomphrena are so healthy! As directed, I waited a couple of days to plant them and they're growing like crazy. I'll definitely order from Almanac again!

Thanks for your review, Nora!
