Description and growing instructions below from Hudson Valley Seeds.

A fuss-free, heat tolerant variety.

These milk-white, clover-shaped blooms hold up well in fresh or dried floral bouquets. Because of its ability to retain both color and shape, papery Gomphrena flowers are often used for leis, garlands, and bouquets. The plant has a bushy habit making it an excellent choice for containers, borders, and dense plantings. An overall fuss-free annual that will tolerate heat and dry spells.

GROWING INSTRUCTIONS.

Direct sow after last frost, or sow indoors 6-8 weeks before last frost and then transplant after last frost. Plants enjoy full sun and tolerate poor, dry soil. Cut often to promote bud formation. Dry flowers by cutting stems and hanging them upside down in small clusters.
