Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Helena Pincushion is another fine selection from the Royal Hawaiian series. It is relatively new to the trade and so far has proven adaptable to most soils and garden conditions. Tip pruning from a young age and deadheading after flowers keeps this plant tidy and produces more blooms the following year. The 3-4" wide flowers are well displayed at the end of the foliage and are perfect for floral designs.
