Forget pickleball, we’re bringing table tennis back! Gomphrena Ping Pong Mix features miniature ball-shaped blooms in delightful shades of pink, white, and purple. Compact bushy plants reach less than two feet tall at maturity, brightening up containers, flower beds, and borders. Gomphrena’s papery blooms are ideal for dried flower crafts or floral arrangements, and the more you cut the more they grow! Prized for its long-lasting flowers and drought tolerance, Gomphrena Ping Pong Mix is a deceptively low-maintenance choice for your garden.

    Customer photo review of Gomphrena Seeds - Ping Pong Mix

    This is a fantastic flower for kids (or impatient adults!) Really cool winged seedlings: most germinated overnight (really) and the others within a couple days. 53/54 germinated. I'll update review once they get planted and get flowers.

    I debated if these were going to actually come up bc I decided to do a direct sow. They took a lot longer to come up than I was anticipating but I am finally seeing some blooms, which look as expected. Next year I will start these indoor I think, but it's nice to know that you can direct sow, I just needed to plant their earlier or have more patience knowing they take longer. Will repurchase next year!
