How to start Gomphrena from seeds

Starting seeds indoors

Start gomphrena seeds six to eight weeks before the last frost in your area. This will give them a head start on the growing season so you can have blooms sooner!

Use a seed tray

Scatter the seeds on the surface of a sterilized seed tray filled with seed-starting soil mix, or plant them individually in small containers

Direct sow seeds

If you want to direct sow your gomphrena seeds, wait until after the last danger of frost.

Planting in your garden

If you buy gomphrena at the store, or you have seedlings in trays that have been hardened off, wait until after your last frost date to transplant them into the garden.
