Pincushion Flower Seed Overview
Pincushion flower seed has flower heads that when closed resemble pincushions full of pins. It is a showy summer-bloomer hardy in many parts of the country and beloved for its abundant, rich lilac-blue color. These blooms are gorgeous, held up on long stems and boasting chartreuse central discs, a dramatic white ring, and soft, gentle lilac tones that complement the fresh green, fern-like foliage beautifully! Stems reach 20 inches long and are excellent for cutting. This sun-lover is ideal for borders, edging, and beds.
Pincushion flower seed normally takes about two weeks to germinate. Barely cover the seeds after sowing. Start indoors about 10 weeks before last frost and transplant after last frost of spring, or direct sow outside after the last frost. If direct sowing, the plant probably won’t bloom at all the first year. Planting in well drained soil is a necessity since the plants might rot over winter if they stay too wet.
Pincushion plants are easy to take care of. They should be staked in windy areas, as they have delicate wiry stems and keep the soil moist in summer. Pincushion flowers heavily in early summer, so deadhead flowers once they have finished blooming to prolong the blooming season, then cut the plants back at the end of the growing season in autumn. It is necessary to divide the plants every two or three years to maintain vigorous growth. If you require more plants then divide the plants or plant more flower seed at the start of spring, or take cuttings in the summer time. Pincushion will grow in light shade, but the more shade you have the better chance there is of acquiring powdery mildew.
