Gomphrena 'Audray White'

Audray White Gomphrena (Gomphrena globosa), also known as Globe Amaranth or Bachelor’s Buttons, is a stunning, low-maintenance annual that shines during the heat of summer when many other flowers fade. Its perfectly round, snow-white blooms resemble clover heads and appear continuously from mid-summer through fall, adding brightness and texture to garden beds, borders, and containers.

Reaching up to 70 cm (28"), this taller variety is a standout in the cutting garden. The papery blooms hold their shape and colour beautifully, making them ideal for both fresh arrangements and dried floral work. Audray White is also drought-tolerant, heat-loving, and pollinator-friendly, attracting bees and butterflies with ease. Its tidy habit and strong stems make it especially reliable for long-season performance.

Annual. Hardy to Zone 2–3.
Also known as Globe Amaranth, Bachelor’s Buttons, or Makhmali (in South Asia).

HOW TO GROW:

Start seeds indoors 8–10 weeks before the last frost. Light is required for germination, so cover seeds very lightly—using a fine layer of vermiculite can help retain moisture. Bottom water or mist gently to avoid disturbing the seeds. Transplant into cell packs or larger containers once the first true leaves appear. Keep foliage as dry as possible and avoid watering late in the day to reduce the risk of Alternaria. Direct sowing is not recommended.
