For local plant professionals, we’re always glad to connect and explore ways to support your customers.

Pink Mist Pincushion Flower offers a romantic, soft touch to the summer garden with its cloud of delicate pink blooms. Its lacy, pincushion-shaped flower heads in a gentle pink shade are held on wiry stems above a compact mound of fern-like foliage. Blooming tirelessly from summer into fall, this resilient perennial adds a long season of color and an ethereal quality to sunny, well-drained garden spots.

Soft Pink, Lacy Flower Heads: Features delicate, pincushion-shaped blooms in a lovely soft pink color that creates a misty, romantic effect in the garden.
Extended Summer-to-Fall Bloom Time: Flowers prolifically from early summer until the first frosts, providing months of gentle color.
Compact and Textural Mound: Maintains a neat, low-growing habit with attractive, finely-divided gray-green foliage that complements the airy flowers.
Heat and Drought Resistant: An excellent water-wise plant that thrives in hot, sunny conditions once its roots are established.
Ideal for Informal Gardens: Perfect for adding to cottage gardens, sunny borders, rock gardens, or mixed containers where its delicate charm can be appreciated.

Knowing how we measure the size?

When browsing our plants, you may notice size terms such as Gallon, Multi, or Stand. These describe how a plant is grown, containerized, or structured at the time of sale — not just its height. Understanding these terms will help you choose the right plant for your space and expectations.

🌱 Gallon Size (Container Size)

Gallon refers to the size of the nursery container the plant is currently growing in (e.g. 1 Gallon, 5 Gallon, 15 Gallon).

A larger gallon size generally means:
- A more established root system
- A sturdier plant
- Faster visual impact after planting
Example:
- 5 Gallon: Ideal for residential gardens, easy to handle, good balance of value and maturity
- 15 Gallon: More mature, provides quicker results in the landscape

Note: Gallon size does not guarantee a specific height, as growth varies by species.

🌳 Multi (Multi-Trunk / Multi-Branch Form)

Multi indicates the plant has multiple trunks or main stems growing from the base.

Commonly used for:
- Ornamental trees
- Feature plants
- Japanese maples, olives, crepe myrtles, etc.
Why choose Multi:
- Fuller, more sculptural appearance
- Strong visual presence even at younger ages
- Popular for design-focused landscapes

🌲 Stand (Single-Trunk / Standard Form)

Stand (short for Standard) refers to a single, dominant trunk with a raised or naturally formed canopy.

Commonly used for:
- Shade trees
- Street trees
- Orchard and structural plantings
Why choose Stand:
- Clean, classic tree form
- Easier clearance for walkways and lawns
- Preferred for long-term structure and uniformity

🌿 Choosing the Right Size

If you want instant impact → larger Gallon, Multi form
If you want long-term structure → Stand form
If you want flexibility and value → mid-size Gallon containers

If you’re unsure which size or form fits your project, our team is happy to help you select the best option based on your space, timeline, and design goals.
