Flame Proof, Perfect Score All Season, Leader of the Pack, and Top Performer are just a few of the award designations for Truffula Pink Gomphrena. It has now taken in 50 such trophies. If your state has a flower trial competition, my guess is Truffula Pink has been a winner.
If you don’t know, Truffula Pink it is a globe amaranth. It is almost always grown as an annual that reaches about 24 inches tall and almost as wide. You can’t give it too much sun. It might be perennial in zones 9 and warmer. I live in 8a and had a patch that was perennial for me for a couple of years. I’ll explain its demise.
I planted it in 2019, and it returned in 2020 and was awesome. I never realized I planted it in conjunction with a chipmunk thoroughfare. In 2021 my granddog Alli, a 120-pound Dutch Shepherd, came to live with me for a year. Her sole existence became to rid Grand Dad of the chipmunks. The Truffula Pink area became pulverized. Today the chipmunks live happily and have found new joy in torturing Tootie the bichon.
