I grow 'Pink Mist' and 'Butterfly Blue'. I would say calling it pink is a stretch! It seems more mauve-lavender-sort-of-pinkish to me. If you see the two colors at a distance, they appear the same. The pink doesn't seem to go with any other shades of pink in the garden but works well with the lavender tones.

Mine got into the curious habit of blooming only in the early spring, while it was still cold, or in the fall after the first frost. It was in too heavy shade and diminished until it didn't come back at all. But it was nice while it lasted.
I have four pincushion flowers, two are 3 yrs old. They are evergreen in my area and begin to flower in early March. They put on a nonstop show until frost. Good for butterfly gardens, and very compact.

Tends to be short-lived, it may be best treated as a biennial. Seed mostly comes true; rogue variants.
