Gomphrena - Strawberry Fields Seeds

We often call gomphrena our pom-pom flowers at the farm. They’re cheerful, long-lasting, and incredibly reliable — both fresh and dried. A great filler flower that keeps its colour beautifully.

These seeds are originally from Johnny's Seeds.  They were not produced here at the farm.  These are the same seeds we plant to produce our 2-acre flower field.  As I always order extra, I have repackaged the seeds into smaller quantities to allow you the opportunity to grow them, too (as not everyone needs 1000 seeds!).
