Growing Requirements for Pincushion Flower Plants
Scabiosa columbaria plants are hardy in USDA zones 4-8.
Pincushion Flowers should be planted 12"-15" apart in an area
where they will receive full sun for most of the day.
They will grow and flower in partial sun or shade,
but flowering will decrease and the stems will be shorter and weaker.
Provide afternoon shade in hot summer regions.
Scabiosas will not tolerate soggy soil in the winter, so it is very important to ensure excellent drainage.
They prefer slightly alkaline soil with a pH of 7.0-7.5, so you may need to add some lime
to the soil when you prepare the planting hole.
Water your Pincushion Flower regularly and thoroughly during the first growing season to establish a deep, healthy root system. Once established, they are fairly drought tolerant plants.
Deadhead regularly to prolong the flowering season and keep the plant looking nice.
