I like that it's supposed to bloom spring, summer and fall :) Kim taught me to look for flowers that bloom longer than just one season. This plant also attracts butterflies too. It seems my garden has more butterfly attractors than I first realized!
Deadheading is necessary to promote blooms. The pincushion flower prefers well-drained soil in full sun. It's intolerant of wet soils, so I worry how it will fair when we get tropic storms during the summer. It grows to a height of 1 to 3 feet. I'm looking forward to watching this one grow. :)
