Scabiosa ‘Pink Mist’


Dwarf Pincushion Flower

USDA Zone: 4-9

Plant number: 1.480.110


This British selection is extremely popular here in North America. It forms a low mound of ferny green foliage. Large soft-pink pincushion flowers begin to appear in early summer and continue blooming non-stop into late fall. Terrific for mass planting, edging the border, and especially in mixed containers. Removing faded flowers will ensure continued blooming. Attractive to butterflies. Excellent counterpart to another selection, ‘Butterfly Blue'. USPP#8957, CPBR#1034: unlicensed propagation prohibited.
