Bellina Pink Cornflower
Psephellus simplicicaulis
Bellina pink cornflower is a well-behaved, trim and invaluable groundcover. This small-scale plant produces abundant, pink pincushions that dance above the foliage from spring through summer. Bellina spreads slowly—eventually to two feet across—with frilly, matte-green leaves that have a silver tone beneath. Few low-water perennials bloom as long or have such delightful habit and form. Plant grows to a height of 4 inches and the flowers bloom to a height of 8-10 inches.
