The true species has magenta [[bract]]s, and [[cultivar]]s have colors such as purple, red, white, pink, and lilac. Its native range is in [[Brazil]], [[Panama]] and [[Guatemala]]. {{Inc| Gomphrena globosa, Linn. Globe Amaranth. Bachelor's Button. Height 18 in. or less: lvs. elliptic to obovate, the largest 4 in. long, 1 ½ in. wide, tapering to a petiole. July. The following names of horticultural varieties indicate the range of color: vars. alba, aurea, carnea, nana compacta (syn. alba) purpurea, striata, violacea. Dwarf and compact forms are likely to be associated with any color. There is a narrow-lvd. form of this species which Voss calls G. haageana, Klotzsch (G. aurantiaca, Hort. G coccinea, Decne.), which has lanceolate lvs., often 6 times as long as broad. The lvs. are rarely ½ in. wide. All are easily grown annuals. {{SCH}} }} ==Cultivation== ===Propagation=== ===Pests and diseases=== ==Varieties== ==Gallery== <gallery perrow=5> File:2231 - Salzburg - Flowers.JPG| photo 1 File:Gomphrena globosa 01.JPG| photo 2 File:Gomphrena globosa0.jpg| photo 3 </gallery> ==References== <references/>    ==External links== *{{wplink}} {{stub}} __NOTOC__
