Flutter™ Rose Pink Pincushion Flower (Scabiosa columbaria) features a whimsical classic pink flower with a blue hue. It grows 12 - 14 inches high and 10 - 12 inches wide. Pincushion-like flowers appear from spring through summer. With proper care, Flutter™ Rose Pink Pincushion Flower can even continue to bloom well into the early fall.
This plant thrives in full sun, but will tolerate a bit of shade. Flutter™ Rose Pink Pincushion Flower can tolerate brief periods of drought once the plant is established. It has a mounded growth habit and is clump forming. This perennial grows in USDA hardiness zones 5 - 9 and has good deer resistance. Flutter™ Rose Pink is ideal for the role of filler in mixed container plantings. This flower is known to attract beneficial pollinators like butterflies and hummingbirds.
Flutter™ Rose Pink Pincushion Flower Care
Flutter™ Rose Pink Pincushion Flower has average water requirements. Water this plant weekly until established. It is tolerant of different soil types but will perform best in moist, well-draining soil. Plant your Pincushion flowers in the early spring in a location that gets at least 6 to 8 hours of sunlight daily. These flowers need full sun in order to produce the most abundant and healthy-looking blooms. Pincushion flowers don’t need much fertilization, although a light feeding with a bloom-boosting fertilizer is always welcomed mid-growing season.
Remove spent blooms to keep Flutter™ Rose Pink Pincushion Flower plants looking their best throughout the growing season. Since there can be many blooms that need deadheading all at once, this plant can be sheared back by half in midsummer. This upkeep will rejuvenate the plant and will encourage another flush of early fall blooms.
Flutter™ Rose Pink Pincushion Flower Spacing
Separate your pincushion flowers with about a foot of space between each plant. This spacing will give the plants room to grow and allow adequate airflow between each plant.
