Description

Blanche Ito Pincushion is relatively new to the trade and so far has proven adaptable to most soils and garden conditions. Tip pruning from a young age and deadheading after flowers keeps this plant tidy and produces more blooms the following year. The 3-4" wide flowers are well displayed at the end of the foliage and are perfect for floral designs.

Water Saving Tip:

Dig-up patches of weeds and undesirable grasses from turf areas.

Use water to grow the turf you want, not the weeds you don't want! Once you have eliminated what you don't want, add sod or over-seed to repair the bare areas.
