Gomphrena haageana ‘Strawberry’, brought to you by Tobias, is a robust and resilient annual known for its distinctive, globe-amaranth blooms. Unlike the common Gomphrena globosa, the haageana species features elongated, conical, deep scarlet-red flower heads that strongly resemble ripe strawberries.
This variety thrives in full sun and is celebrated for its impressive tolerance to high heat, humidity, and drought conditions, making it a reliable performer in challenging summer gardens. The plant forms a compact, bushy habit, typically reaching heights of 18-24 inches, providing continuous blooms from early summer until the first frost.
The flowers are particularly valued for their “everlasting” nature; their papery texture allows them to retain their vibrant color and shape long after being harvested and dried. This makes ‘Strawberry’ an essential component for crafters and florists creating long-lasting arrangements and potpourri.
