Amarantine globuleuse (Gomphrena globosa)

magenta-purple colour shade. However, every inflorescence consists of many small single blossoms. As good nectar and pollen givers, these strongly attract useful insects like bees and are a good food source. In case you'd like to dry the blossoms, you shouldn't let them blossom fully but cut them in an early stage and tie them up upside down on a dry, dark spot.

Globe Amaranth is also known as a medicinal plant. You can prepare the dried blossoms as tea, which is said to help a lot with coughing and hoarseness.
