Product Description
Scabiosa columbaria 'Pink Mist' PP8957 (30)ct Flat
Common name: Pincushion Flower
Pincushion-like, pink flowers with a hint of lavender are borne atop wiry stems over a long period beginning in early summer. They hover over the short mound of ferny basal foliage. This is a reliable, long-blooming selection.
Long-blooming 2-inch pink flowers atop stiff stems over gray-green foliage. The nickname comes from its outer ring of frilly, flat, petals and a paler domed center cushion with protruding stamens, similar to pins in a pincushion. Blooms start in the spring and continue blooming into autumn, blooming almost all year in mild winter climates.
Scabiosa grows best in average soil and full sun. Good drainage is essential for the health of the plants. Deadheading will promote a longer blooming period. In the fall, cut back any flowering stems to help the plants prepare for winter.
