Description
‘Mars Midget’ is an excellent compact cultivar of Pincushion Flower that produces light, airy buttons of color above low-growing, medium-green foliage in early summer. A lovely, crimson red touch for moist meadows or border edges. Blooms, which look like Scabiosa flowers, are held on thin, sturdy, wire-like stems. Each blossom is made up of crimson petals that contrast beautifully with other meadow favorites such as Coreopsis or Gaillardia. Foliage forms a tight clump and is very striking when planted en masse, or planted with silvery leaved companions. ‘Mars Midget’ is a fairly short-lived perennial, but will attract many pollinators to your garden. A sunny, moist site is preferred, but with regular watering, ‘Mars Midget’ can tolerate average soils. A meadow favorite. 16” tall x 20” wide.

Excellent
"Plant arrived, healthy, and fully rooted in the little pot. I planted it immediately and it’s now on its second flesh."
Darling and beautiful!
"Admittedly, this did not survive my winter, but was replaced without a problem. HCG is amazing when it comes to this. The replacement is doing brilliantly and I love it! It's bright, bold, and beautiful. It's on the small size. #sweepstakes"
