Easy to grow, this plant from a species that grows spontaneously in the sunny meadows of South America requires only limited maintenance<\/strong> to abundantly flower the garden or a pot on a balcony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Plant the gomphrena ‘Truffula Pink’ in May in the ground. This plant appreciates a well-drained, infertile soil with a neutral to acidic pH. It appreciates full sun<\/strong> where it will flower spectacularly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A regular watering<\/strong> is necessary time to ensure recovery, then the gomphrena will only little watering<\/strong> and will even tolerate a drought event. No need to add fertilizer for this greedy plant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pot :<\/p>\n\n\n\n In pots, water as soon as the substrate dries on 3 cm on the surface. Add a ‘special flower plant’ fertilizer once a month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The gomphrena ‘Truffula Pink’ is as remarkable on the edge of flower beds and paths as it is in a very wild-looking flower meadow where it attracts many butterflies<\/strong> and other pollinating insects . It also finds its place in mixed-border in the company of perennials and annuals or even in rockeries and on an embankment that it will cover with pink throughout the summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In a large pot, it brings its soft hue to a terrace or balcony promoting biodiversity in urban areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cut flowers make beautiful, long-lasting bouquets. Once dried, they adorn the interior during the long winter months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To make an embankment flower in the long term, it is possible to embark on the creation of a colored<\/strong> bed that will amaze guests. The gomphrena ‘Truffula Pink’ will take center stage here to take advantage of its wild aspect. At the edge of the embankment, place 5 plants of ‘Rozanne’ geranium for its softness and bright color. We then install 10 plants of gomphrena ‘Truffula’ then we have 10 plants of Carex EverColor\u00ae on its left and 10 plants of Mirage sage on its right. The Carex will highlight the stunning fuchsia pink of the gomphrena. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Pathways are generally used as transitional spaces between different parts of the garden. To flower them, you can opt for easy-care plants like those from the Facil’\u00e9t\u00e9\u00ae range! Some varieties attract pollinating insects which play a crucial role in biodiversity. You might as well kill two birds with one stone! For a flowery and attractive path for the bees, we install several plants of gomphrena ‘Truffula’ in staggered rows between which we interpose plants of sage ‘Mirage’ and sage ‘Mystic Spiers Blue ‘. Something to please all the insects passing through the garden! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Foliage forming very branched and downy tufts covering all summer long with fuchsia pink flowers attracting pollinating insects, the gomphrena ‘Truffula Pink’ is a novelty not to be missed!
