Hello:

I am growing some gomphrena from seeds in 9 inch clay pot, and they are coming along well. Wanted to know how much should I thin them? How many plants are ideal in a 9 inch pot?

Thanks!!

What does the packet say about spacing and mature plant size? I usually crowd potted plants but it helps to have a starting guide.

Gomphrena is such a reliable, cheery potted annual —which color?

thin out the smaller ones now so they do not take up nutrients and water . fewer, larger plants produce more flowers.

these are 8" pots with one plant in each pot

Mike ~ Those are just lovely! What month did you sow them? Did you just sow them in the big pots, or did you transplant them?

they reseeded in my garden and then I put them into pots
i have some in my garden from 4" pots i just out in ,,, they usually reseed
