Gomphrena, Las Vegas Mix
Gomphrena, Las Vegas Mix (Gomphrena globosa ‘Las Vegas Mix’)
Las Vegas Mix gomphrena is a heat-loving annual known for its vibrant, globe-shaped flowers and exceptional performance in hot, dry conditions. With blooms in shades of purple, pink, and white, it provides long-lasting color in the garden and is one of the best flowers for drying. Its compact, upright habit and resilience make it ideal for low-input gardens and cut flower production.
Key Characteristics
Long-lasting blooms for fresh and dried use
Gomphrena produces clover-like flower heads that retain their color and shape exceptionally well, even after drying. These blooms are widely used in bouquets, wreaths, and dried arrangements, holding color for months or longer.
Excellent heat and drought tolerance
Las Vegas Mix thrives in high heat and full sun, continuing to bloom through the hottest parts of summer. Once established, it requires minimal water, making it a strong choice for xeriscapes and low-water garden systems.
Pollinator-friendly flowers with continuous bloom
The dense flower heads attract bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects. With a long bloom window from early summer through fall, it provides a steady nectar source during peak growing season.
Compact, upright growth for garden beds and containers
This variety maintains a tidy, bushy habit, typically staying under 2 feet tall. It works well in borders, raised beds, and containers, and integrates easily into cut flower gardens and ornamental plantings.

- Soil requirements: Dry to medium, well-drained
- Mature height: 18–24 inches
