How to grow Dwarf pincushion flower 'Blue'

Keep in mind when planting that Blue is thought of as hardy, so it can be safe to leave outdoors for the majority of winter (although if in doubt, using a row cover is often a good idea).

Growing Blue from seed

Try to ensure a gap of at least 7.8 inches (20.0 cm) when sowing to prevent overcrowding your seedlings.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Blue about 42 days before your last frost date.

Transplanting Blue

As Blue is hardy, ensure temperatures are mild enough to plant out - wait until after your last frost date to be on the safe side.
