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.

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.
