Not the kind of Fireworks you may be thinking of at Labor Day, but a tough as nails flower, Gomphrena Fireworks.Not your traditional Gomphrena, but a taller accent plant for annual color beds. (see above, background) Growing to 36”h x 24” wide covered in magenta-pink flowers in hot full sun all Spring-Summer-Fall, shooting out yellow stamens like tiny fireworks. A New Nursery Top 10 Miserable Day Heat Tolerant plant that thrives through heavy summer rains, humidity and drought.
This is the bomb-proof color you need for your customer that wants a lot of show for little money. These are available in 4” pots but their coverage is immense. They grow so big, you actually use fewer plants for more coverage.
Plant Fireworks Gomphrena as your tall accent with a lower planting of yellow Zahara Zinnias, Pentas or Melampodium, and a base planting of ornamental sweet potato. Your homeowner may enjoy the fact that this hummingbird, butterfly magnet is also an excellent cut flower and preserves dry as well.
