Beautiful banner of mixed flowers, I love those!

What is this one though, is it a pincushion flower? I thought they get like 3' tall so hadn't considered them for my yard, but this one seems shorter.

There's something so happy about this collection of plants. Even the geranium leaves add to the plant 'party'. Love it. Smiling

Thanks, Nancy & everyone for the nice comments & thumbs!

Yes, it's a scabiosa...pincushion.

It's been in that pot with the geranium for
at least 5yrs....they seem like a happy couple. Thumbs up

The scabiosa tends to grow horizontally through the geranium, but would probably be ~2ft tall if it was alone.

I've tried spreading the seeds around the garden, but so far it only
grows in the pot. Maybe I should sow the seeds next to geraniums. Green Grin!
