Looking like miniature pink truffula trees from the Dr. Suess book "The Lorax", the blooms of this globe amaranth are produced in hordes. For years we've grown the variety known as Fireworks and still enjoy it. Truffula Pink looks almost identical but is only half the size. Pretty much a bullet proof plant and a good cut flower, Truffula Pink also works great in containers. It can stand alone or serve as a thriller in a mixed combination.
