Mars Midget Pincushion Flower

‘Mars Midget’ is an excellent compact cultivar of Pincushion Flower that produces light, airy buttons of color above low-growing, medium-green foliage in early summer. A lovely, crimson red touch for moist meadows or border edges. Blooms, which look like Scabiosa flowers, are held on thin, sturdy, wire-like stems. Each blossom is made up of crimson petals that contrast beautifully with other meadow favorites such as Coreopsis or Gaillardia. Foliage forms a tight clump and is very striking when planted en masse, or planted with silvery leaved companions. ‘Mars Midget’ is a fairly short-lived perennial, but will attract many pollinators to your garden. A sunny, moist site is preferred, but with regular watering, ‘Mars Midget’ can tolerate average soils. A meadow favorite. 16” tall x 20” wide.
