Blooms last for many weeks and leave behind attractive seed heads.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt only 14 to 16 inches tall, it is ideal tucked along the front of a border, in rock gardens or in containers. It is not known to reseed, and it is carefree, drought tolerant and avoided by deer and rabbits. Butterflies and bees are regular visitors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it looks like\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNumerous rounded flower clusters about 1.5 inches across of tiny starry florets in soft lilac purple, held on slender, straight stems just above the leaves. Leaves are narrow, straight, glaucous blue-green blades forming a tidy, upright tuft. The plant is 14 to 16 inches tall and 12 to 14 inches wide. At peak bloom it is densely studded with many small purple balls, like pins in a cushion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGrowing it with lavender\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePincushion grows in the same sunny, lean, well-drained soil as lavender, and its small purple globes and blue-green leaves make a neat, color-matched edging for a lavender planting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrow in full sun to part shade in lean to average, well-drained soil; it handles drought once established.
