We have been harvesting and drying gomphrena for several months. Wondering what stage we harvest gomphrena for drying? Join us in the flower field for our latest YouTube video where we share the process that we use for harvesting the perfect gomphrena stems for drying. The gomphrena bundles in this photo are dried and ready to be used in our upcoming Fall projects. I am pleased with the color retention and depth of every variety.
