Gomphrena ‘Pinball Purple’ is a flowering annual known for its round, vibrant purple, ball-shaped flowers. The inflorescences, composed of papery bracts, retain their color for a long time and add a unique texture to arrangements.
The flowers are borne on strong stems above green foliage, creating a compact and well-branched plant ideal for flowerbeds, window boxes, and containers. Flowering is continuous from early summer until the first frosts.
Very tolerant of heat and drought once established, this plant is also appreciated for fresh or dried bouquets.
