Oh i haven't seen a red Gomphrena! We only have the purple/maroon and sometimes i see whites with maroon leaves. When we were children we have lots of the maroon, but they become weeds and were eradicated. Now i want to plant them again, but i can't see them nearby.

ReplyDeleteI'm sorry I don't have the seeds. You can find the seedlings at local nurseries.
