An exciting newcomer, developed to offer larger flowers held on long, strong stems to meet the needs of the cut flower market. Luckily, we can now make Scabiosa 'Scoop Marshmallow' available to you for growing in your own cutting garden - or in containers, gravel gardens and herbaceous borders. From July to September rich, pastel pink flowers are topped by fascinating white 'pinhead' buds which open and unfurl to give masses of tightly packed, frilly petals. Irresistible for a vase, or you can simply admire them in situ and watch the pollinators, particularly bees, bob through the swathes of blooms in search of a feast.Plant Scabiosa 'Scoop Marshmallow' in well-drained soil with full sun. A half-hardy, herbaceous perennial which reaches a height of 60cm and spreads up to 30cm. Protect plants from frost over winter, either by lifting or mulching.
