There are two types of pincushion flowers – annual and perennial. The annual pincushion flowers should be replanted every year, while the perennials have foliage that returns every year and remains green as well. The pincushions need well-drained, rich soil and full sun position; however, they don’t like too hot or cold weather. They don’t need to be watered too often – once in a week is fine if there isn’t any rainfall, or twice a week if the weather is dry and hot.

  1. They are indeed stock. Although I see where the individual florets might suggest hyacinths, the clincher is the leaves. These are definitely not hyacinth leaves, which are upright and sturdy.
