Gomphrena (گل مخمل) produces vibrant, globe-shaped flowers in shades of pink, purple, and white, resembling soft velvet. It thrives in warm weather, grows well in 6-8 inch pots or garden beds, and prefers full sunlight. Native to Central and South America, it spread worldwide in the 19th century due to its resilience, making it popular in both fresh and dried floral arrangements.
