Gomphrena QIS Pink is an upright flowering annual originating from Central and South America. This professional-tier cultivar reaches a mature height of 24-26 inches and is part of the "Quality in Seed" series, which was developed specifically for the cut flower industry. Also known as Gomphrena globosa, this variety produces exceptionally rigid stems topped with spherical, clover-like flower heads in a soft, non-fading pink that blooms continuously from early summer until the first frost. These plants thrive in full sun and require well-drained soil to support their robust stems in either greenhouse or field settings. For a high-impact floral display, consider pairing QIS Pink with companions like Limonium sinuatum (Statice), Salvia, or Zinnia elegans.

Its versatility makes it a cost-effective and dependable choice for both commercial field growers and retail garden centers .

Provide a constant feed rate of 150-200 ppm Nitrogen and keep your greenhouse temperatures at 65-75°F during the day and approximately 60-65°F at night for uniform development. QIS Pink should be kept under high light conditions and will typically finish from transplant-to-sale in 10-12 weeks.

It is best to maintain a planting density of 1-2 plants per square foot (11-21 plants per square meter).

Disease
Botrytis, powdery mildew, and rust are the diseases that Gomphrena are most susceptible to.
Planting Qis Pink (Globosa) Liners

It looks like this is the first time you've added anything to your cart.
We just wanted to remind you that we are a wholesale starter plant company that sells to businesses, schools, clubs, and other non-profits. State law dictates that you must be growing for resale to order from us since we are not collecting sales tax.
If we aren't a match, we understand. It's not you, it's us.
We would look awful in orange jumpsuits.
