Scabiosa Pink Mist
Scabiosa Pink Mist
Pink Mist pincushion flower (Scabiosa columbaria ‘Pink Mist’) bears soft pink flower heads with a lavender cast. Wiry stems rise from a compact leafy clump, leaving space around each bloom so its rounded form stands out.
The summer flowers lend a delicate touch to edging and mixed containers. Regular removal of faded heads helps maintain the display and keeps the plant looking tidy through its flowering season.
Choose a sunny site with very good drainage. Avoid waterlogged soil, particularly around the crown, and provide establishment water without keeping the ground continually saturated.
