Perennial Plant of the Year 2000
Butterfly Blue Pincushion Floer
Zone 3 - 9
Still one a popular ornamental. And for good reason. It's greatest prized feature is that it blooms non-stop from June, well into September, with a continuous mass of small, lavender-blue pincushion flowers. This low-growing perennial is an excellent choice for the rock garden or border. It is particularly nice when mass planted. Try combining with with another long flowering perennial such as the daylily 'Stella d'oro', or with its close cousin Scabiosa 'Pink Mist'. Easy to grow in full sun and well-drained, moist, average garden soil. HEIGHT: 30-40 cm SPREAD: 30-40 cm
