Purple Bachelor's Button carries rich purple globes — perfectly round, faintly papery to the touch — above a compact green mound. This is Gomphrena hybrida Pinball 'Purple', a live 4-inch plant that flowers from summer into fall.

Heat is where it shines. The more sun and the sharper the drainage, the more clearly the color holds, which makes it a dependable filler for hot beds, parking strips, and patio containers that bake by two in the afternoon. Stems are stiff enough for simple cut arrangements, and the globes keep their shape and color long after cutting. Let the soil dry slightly between deep waterings and trim the mound in summer if growth goes uneven.

Fun fact: despite the common name, this is an amaranth rather than a true bachelor's button, and what looks like a petal is a stiff papery bract. That construction is exactly why the globes hold their color so stubbornly once dried.

Ships as an established 4-inch plant, healthy on arrival or replaced free.

We use expedited shipping policies to protect plant health and minimize plant stress in transit.  All plants are in transit for only 1-3 days. (This does not guarantee 3-day delivery as orders are not always packed and sent out on the day of your order.) We send out deliveries on a weekly schedule to ensure quick transit times, so your order may not be packaged and shipped until later in the week. For instance, we may hold shipments to avoid weekend delays that keep plants in transit for longer.

All packaging includes eco-friendly material and our shipping methods are tested regularly to ensure plants arrive healthy upon arrival.

Additionally, any delays or damages in shipping are covered by our Healthy Plant Guarantee.

If you're plants arrived damaged, we will happily replace them for free!
