Gomphrena Gnome Purple 1k Sakata

Gomphrena ‘Gnome Purple’, provided by Sakata, is a charming, compact selection of globe amaranth designed for small spaces and low-maintenance gardening. As part of the ‘Gnome’ series, it maintains a tidy, mounding habit, typically reaching only 6 to 10 inches in height.

This variety is covered in bright, saturated purple, clover-like flower heads throughout the entire growing season. Its exceptional heat tolerance and minimal water requirements make it a robust choice for even the hottest climates. The plant thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, blooming vigorously from late spring through to the first hard frost.

The papery texture of the ‘Gnome Purple’ blooms means they last a very long time, both in the garden and as a cut flower. They are particularly effective when used in mass plantings where their vivid color creates a carpet effect, or as an accent in mixed container plantings.
