  • Puffy pink flowers hover above the feathery leaves
  • Blooms a long time throughout summer
  • Very nice to cut for a small vase

Pretty pink pincushion-like flowers shoot up on thin stems above the short mound of ferny basal foliage. It is a great long-blooming perennial that should be deadheaded to encourage rebloom. An excellent, easy maintenance plant that adds delicate beauty to the landscape.

Homeowner Growing Tips: Grow in full sun, or in part shade in hot southern climates, in well-drained, moderately fertile soil. Amend with compost before planting. Avoid excessive winter moisture; ideal for a rock garden or raised bed. Deadhead to promote continued flower production. Divide every 3 years, and amend the soil upon replanting.
