I have grown the carmine variety for several years now. Love the colour, the easy care, and the staying power of the colour when dried. Nice video. Thank you.

Which type is better for Zone 10A? (Personal use….self sown in ground) Thank you for the information.

[@JohnnysSeeds]

We unfortunately do not trial Gomphrena in zone 10. We would not anticipate significant differences between varieties but if you do grow them please let us know if you see any! :)

Off topic - jeans are cool. Gompherna cool too.

How long does the seeds last? Can you save seeds for personal use. I have harvested one bunch before our first frost and dried them and uses it for our dining table arrangements. Just wondering if seeds will grow? But I still have seeds left from my last year order.

In addition to Vera's reply, we wanted to add that the seed lasts about 4 to 5 years :)

Seeing all that amaranth makes me jealous. I grew a couple plants and they were absolutely DESTROYED by those pigweed beetles. I mean swarms and swarms of them, I'd get rid of them and ten more would replace them. it was wild.

How many plants to create what are in the videos? How far apart? I like how it’s almost a hedge.

Hello! On our Research Farm, the beds of gomphrena are 30” wide. Each plant needs a 6”-8” square of room to grow in, so we transplant 4 to 5 plants across the row, and make sure there is 6”-8” between each plant along the length of the row. We hope this helps! Happy Growing! 🙂
