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.

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.

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.
