Scabiosa columbaria 'Pink Mist' ~ Pink Mist Pincushion Flower zone-2 (2) Photos by Leonora (Ellie)Pink Mist Pincushion Flower is a compact basal clumping herbaceous perennial with fine cut blue green foliage. The soft pastel pink flowers have frilly outer petals with a domed center cushion bloom on stiff stems nearly year round from mid spring until frost. Grows best in full sun and well drained soils, but tolerates part sun in hot southern climates. Intolerant of wet soils, especially in winter. Deadhead to extend bloom. Type: Perennial,
