Pincushion Flower - Fama Deep Blue (3.5" pot)
Perennial. A striking, blue beauty that happens to be a pollinator magnet! Bees and butterflies will swarm the huge, 4” flowers over a long blooming season. Ruffled petals will open around a pale central disc. As the bloom matures, this disc becomes studded with dark stamens to give the characteristic “pincushion” appearance. Plants tolerate a variety of soil types, but will thrive in rich, well-draining soil. Drought tolerant once established, they will benefit from regular watering and fertilization in their first year.
Location: Mid-border, Cut flower garden, Rock garden
Bloom Period: July/August
Height: 28”
Plant Spacing: 12-18”
