Purple Globe Amaranth - Gomphrena globosa (12 cm pot)
Gomphrena globosa, known as purple globe amaranth, is a charming plant that stands out for its round, intensely coloured flowers, which keep their beauty even after drying. Easy to grow and very hardy, it’s an excellent choice for sunny gardens, terraces or balconies, and adapts well to growing in the ground or in pots and planters. It’ll bring a vibrant, long-lasting touch to any outdoor space — guaranteed! With its globe-shaped flower heads in a deep purple shade, with a dry texture and delicate look, which attract bees, butterflies and other pollinators, it supports biodiversity in your garden, terrace or balcony. And thanks to its durability, it’s also highly valued for dried flower arrangements, keeping the flowers’ characteristic colour even after picking — a feature that gives it the name “everlasting”. It’s a versatile, hardy and highly ornamental plant.

CUIDADOS
Light: Needs at least 6 hours of direct sun per day. In low-light locations, flowering may be reduced or compromised.
Temperature: Grows best between 15°C and 25°C. Sensitive to frost. In cold climates, it behaves as an annual. In warmer regions, it can last longer.
Watering: Water when the substrate is dry. Once established, it tolerates dry spells, but moderate watering encourages growth and flowering.
Humidity: Prefers well-drained soil and doesn’t tolerate waterlogging. Watch out for saucers where water can stagnate or non-draining decorative pots. After each watering, excess water should drain properly to prevent root rot. This plant adapts well to drier conditions.
Fertilising: Low-maintenance — applying organic compost or a balanced fertiliser at the start of the growing season is enough.
Pruning: No pruning needed. Removing spent flowers improves appearance and can extend flowering. Pinching early on helps create a bushier plant.
Life cycle: Annual in temperate climates. May behave as a perennial in warm climates.
Soil: Light, fertile, well-draining substrate. Tolerates different soil types, as long as they don’t retain excess water.
Pet Friendly: Generally considered safe for pets, although ingestion isn’t recommended.
