A long-flowering perennial with grey green leaves and white pincushion blooms. Position: full sun Soil: well-drained, neutral to slightly alkaline soil Rate of growth: average Flowering period: June to August Hardiness: fully hardy This new pincushion flower is relatively compact, but it doesn't skimp on its flowers - producing an abundance throughout the summer.

Garden care: Protect young plants from slug damage using environmentally friendly slug pellets or beer traps. Deadhead regularly to prolong flowering and cut back in autumn to maintain a tidy habit and form. Avoid ground conditions likely to become wet or waterlogged during the colder months.
