One of our most asked about plants in the Petula Test Garden
A Gomphrena hybrid from the plant breeding company, Proven Winners, Pink Zazzle’s puffy, neon pink blooms explode color into the garden.
Located in the Sea Jade garden
(gom-FREE-nah)
A.K.A. “Globe Amaranth”
Neon pink flowers from June thru September. Thrives in warmth & high light. Look for it in garden centers at the beginning of summers.
- Annual
- Full Sun
- Light fuzz on leaves & stems
- 8-16 inches in the garden.
The blooms are larger on Pink Zazzle than on most Gomhrena’s….giving it a big “wow” factor. This photo courtesy of Proven Winners.
Pink Zazzle has an upright growth habit, but it’s short, so it’s perfect for the front of a garden bed.
This photo was taken after our hot spell, the foliage is slightly stressed but the plant is covered in blooms.
Older flowers tend to get lighter at the tips.
