Scabiosa Blue Note (Pot Size: 3 Litre Pot)
Our popular pincushion flower, Scabiosa Blue Note is a striking dwarf perennial with an informal display of delicate flowers. It is small and delicate, perfect for the front of your garden borders. This compact plant flirts with wildlife with its delicate bloom in a rich blue colour born on lance shaped, grey-green leaves.
No longer used to treat Scabies by the Romans, however it’s Latin name ‘to scratch’ lingers on as bees and other wildlife use its high pollen pincushion blooms to deliver and collect. It’s blooms also hold seeds!
Scabiosa Blue Note is very easy to care for and requires very little maintenance. It enjoys full sun and partially sheltered spots in the garden with moist but well drained soil.
Blue Note fits into your borders in those gaps we don’t know what to do with. Once you pop it into its home, it will throw out plumes of colour all summer long. Once the flowers fade, a quick chop, and it will flower again and again between July and September.
Gardens that suit Scabiosa’s are; well drained rock gardens, container displays, cottage gardens, country gardens, prairie gardens and urban gardens.
