Gomphrena – 3 Colour Blend

~50 Seeds

Gomphrena – All Colour Blend is a cheerful dwarf everlasting, covered in tidy, clover-like globe blooms in a mix of white, pink, rose, and red shades. Compact and easy to grow, it’s a natural fit for rock gardens, borders, and containers where it adds long-lasting colour all season.

These heat-loving plants thrive in sunny spots and don’t mind poorer soils, making them a reliable choice for low-maintenance gardens. Butterflies are frequently drawn to the bright, button-like flowers, adding even more life to your space.

Reaching just 15–30 cm (6–12") tall, this variety stays nicely compact while producing plenty of blooms. Flowers hold their colour beautifully both fresh and dried, making Gomphrena a favourite for dried arrangements and crafts. For best results when drying, harvest stems just as the flowers begin to open—more mature blooms can become fragile and fall apart once dried.
