In my old job, I once had a customer who ask is there anything that flowers all summer and you do not have to water no matter how long drought conditions last. After careful consideration my recommendation was Gomphrena-because it is the only plant, I know that can grow at the gates of Hell. Great plant and you have wonderful garden.

While they don't favor or eat the gomhrena, they will pick and choose around for plants they do like.

Hi Marion, I haven't noticed any reseeding going on yet. Perhaps they will and just haven't germinated yet. I'll have to try to notice in the coming weeks as the season warms up. The seeds are pretty small. You can start them in little pots ahead of time if you wanted too, in very sunny window, or wait to direct sow them. Both methods worked well for me. I tried a handful in winter sowing (didn't do too well), I sowed some in a few small pots with potting mix, they germinated, and I also direct sowed after soaking the seeds, and those did very well also.

They will need sun to flower best. Hope this helps.

Hi there, Mine have lots of chaff too. You can rub them between your fingers once they've dried enough and most of the chaff should rub off. Also, since gomphrena seed directions typically say to soak seeds overnight before sowing to improve germination. My thought is that soaking them will also help remove some of that chaff. Large scale seed companies probably have machines that do this process I imagine.
