The Scabiosa 'Pink Mist', Scabiosa columbaria, also know as the Pincushion
Flower, has wonderful 2" pink flowers that bloom from June to October. 'Pink
Mist' is a reminiscent of a pincushion full of pins. With its gray-green
foliage, it has a plant height of 12” and a spread of 12-18", not to mention
being disease resistant. It is best to plant Scabiosa in full sun, with well-
drained soil and should be watered regularly throughout the warmer months to
increase its overall performance. Deadheading after the first bloom will
encourage repeat bloom time. 'Pink Mist' is great for attracting butterflies
and hummingbirds and does excellent in rock gardens. It will do excellent for
front-of-the-border areas, with Coreopsis 'Moonbeam', Dianthus 'Bath's Pink',
in mass plantings or as cut flowers.
