All about the Gomphrena

The Gomphrena is a cute, bulbous flower that gives a charming, playful look. Besides, these flowers are great for drying. You can already tell by the rustling of the flower on the stem: it's a dry flower variety and thus lends itself perfectly to a drying bouquet.

The Gomphrena feels completely at home in a variety of bouquets. Whether it's a vibrant summer bouquet, a romantic bouquet for a wedding, or a dried arrangement for a rustic theme.

The name of this flower has its origins in the Greek word 'gomphos', meaning nail, referring to the shape of the buds that resemble small nails.
