Gomphrena globosa · Whole Dried Flowers · Vibrant Floral Tea

Dried Globe Amaranth Flowers (Gomphrena globosa) are a striking floral botanical, recognised for their naturally vibrant purple-pink globe-shaped flower heads and mild, gently earthy character.

Traditionally prepared as a floral infusion, the dried blossoms create what is commonly known as globe amaranth tea — a delicate caffeine-free botanical cup that can be enjoyed on its own or blended with complementary flowers and herbs.

Globe Amaranth has a long history as both an ornamental and traditional botanical, particularly across tropical and subtropical regions where its colourful flowers have been cultivated, dried and used in a variety of preparations.

At Flowers from my Meadow, our Globe Amaranth Flowers are kept pure and uncomplicated — carefully packed as whole dried flowers for tea, botanical blending and creative preparations.
